Hi all!
So my friend and I are working on a for-profit web application for a company (small time stuff though, and we're not getting paid much - mainly doing it for the experience). Basically we're going to be installing and modifying a custom "store" using Magento. This will be our first time working on Magento, and we're not totally sure what all we're going to be in for, but we've created a layout that very closely mimicks the layout/design of the default template that comes with Magento (anyway, more on this later, in a different thread perhaps ).
As of now, I'm thinking we'll develop locally, and use a test server (IP restricted) for QA. Obviously payment gateway stuff isn't going to be working on local/qa, but again let's ignore that.
Sorry for rambling, here is the point: how do we share code? I have a SVN server running on a computer at my house, and I COULD use that (it works well with NetBeans actually, which we both use), but I'd really PREFER to using something a bit faster with better uptime/etc. This "server" the SVN server is on is a old pentium 3 I have in my parents basement I use for remoting in when they have trouble with a computer on their network.
Now, again, our budget is basically 0. We're making very little from this (it's for the experience), and so paying 12 bucks a month for GitHub access isn't really something we'd like to do. Because this is a private site we're working on, for profit, super secret, we'd prefer it not be hosted on the free/open source area of GitHub/Google Code/etc.
Do we have any options, other then hosting the SVN ourselves?
Do we need SVN? Of course we could just make our edits then use a comparison tool like WinMerge or whatever to merge our changes...
Thanks for your in sight or personal experience!!!
