Does this happen to you? I work on programs, drawings, spreadsheets, and websites, generating countless files over the years. A lot of which I do for my own personal projects. And as such, I do not have elaborate version control software like I did during times I've spent with large companies. Although useful, those same version control programs were quite cumbersome and tedious.
So, for my own strategy, I just save a file as the next number in a series, or I add the date. Sometimes I take a long break from a project, and when I get back I have no idea what was a good version, stable one, or what have you. It has become quite a useless method with software I am writing. And I have grow weary of this method. I need something better and easy to implement.
How do you keep track of the various versions of project work files? Is there a program that is easy that can help?
Any help would be appreciated.
