I know. I need a personal github.

git is free, and is usually installed on individual machines. It's also easy to set up and use for a single user.

Where git gets complex is when multiple users are making simultaneous changes. And even there, it's about as complicated as it needs to be, and very powerful.

Once you've installed git, you don't even need internet access. Even if you're in a multiplayer project, you only need it for some operations, not for the run of the mill snapshots you'd like to do.

When I get frustrated I try so many
things in quick succession I lose track. The worst is when I got something
working, but was moving so fast, I forgot how ;')


One git feature I haven't used in a long time is the ability to test MANY versions against a particular test. If I recall correctly, the test should return a nonzero return code (eg. sys.exit(5)) for error. Anyway, you start up the git script, telling it the test name, and it'll repeatedly get versions till it finds the one you're looking for.
