Multiple programmers: version control or naw?

[faust1706]

A big way github sponsors frc is by giving teams free repos. Use them.

Github is only as good as the comments you put into them

From XKCD:


Also, Tortoise HG and Mercurial is like gitHub, but you can do code merging in this one (like 2 people work on the same code, it checks for errors, ect)

From XKCD:

I learned this in 2008. Good comments in the code help when you do commits and your commit comments get like XKCD photo.

And by going through Github, you do your CSAs a favor. It allows us to look at the code at our leisure or link to others for troubleshooting help/highlighting coding brilliance.

Version control is highly recommended even with only one person doing the programing. It "bus proofs" your code.
