code storage

[!aaaaa!]

I'm just wondering how teams store their code?
is it on an ftp site or on a computer or something else

[wilsonmw04]

we have learned, by experience, to have multiple copies of the code on several people. We usually store it in thumb drives. I have a copy, the Captain, Programmer and one Mentor has a copy as well. It's over kill, i know, but I'd rather waste time making copies than trying to rewrite code when its been lost.

What is an ftp? And how do you store something on it?

on the computer. an FTP site requires an Internet connection which cannot be guaranteed at a regional.

you can store it on an ftp so you can have others on your team access it at other times

we store it in a ftp and a flash drive for competition because we dont have internet.

A subversion repository!!

A git repository!!

Really, any revision control should be used. It's like.. automated backups. Git doesn't have to be central based, so you don't need to push up your commits to a central server whenever you're done working, but it's always good to keep source in multiple places. =)

I have a "code" folder. I duplicate the project folder at the end of the day. That way I have lots of snapshots with very little confusion. Version management has never worked for me, I'm more of a cowboy programmer type - for better or for worse.

We keep our code:

A. in multiple Flash Drives (multiple people)

B. In one or more laptops

C. In a closed, moderated GoogleGroup (accessible only by 1675 Control Systems members).

The filter at the schools block out GoogleGroups so we post the code developed every night in the GooglegGroup for members/mentors to download.

I too am all for the SVN repositories... however, this year I didn't bother, since it wasn't my machine most of the code got done on.
