Title: Any recommended tools for script version management?
Post by: Ad_Astra on February 17, 2025, 06:42:57 AM
I am looking for a tool to manage version control on the scripts I write for my personal use and wondered if forum members had any suggestions?

Just looking for something simple for single user to run on a Windows PC; no cloud storage or multiuser features required. Scripting languages I use are: Windows cmd shell, Powershell, VBA and JavaScript.

I edit using Notepad++ which has a handy backup feature, but I am looking for something that just keeps the changes as an update file and a simple control file to apply the updates in order. That way I would have version history and could easily go back to an earlier version.

I can find complex systems on the web, but I am looking for something simple for a home user to use.

You could run Git locally and never push to the cloud. See this StackOverflow question (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32406720/how-can-i-use-git-locally).
