So, version control is far from a new concept to coders, basically it allows you to keep track of versions of your code-base, easily roll back to previous versions, and allows for multiple coders to work on the same program. I have not looked into version control because to date my code has been small enough to manage without. However, after reading this article i decided to give Bazaar a try. The online documentation is very easy to understand and it only took 10-15 minutes until i had committed my first revision of rebuildtherobots! My codebase is still relatively small and im not collaborating with anyone, so im only using a small portion of Bazaar's power, however having Bazaar keep track of all my changes is very re-assuring. I can now code while drunk and not have to worry about messing up my code and forgetting what i have done! so that's my verdict, if you like to code while pissed, then use version control!
