Free distributed source control with visual studio integration?

Question

I want to switch to distributed source control, as I use several computers and often work offline. What if any distributed source control systems integrate with visual studio and how good is the integration?

Answer 1

Do you find using git ? You can post open source projects on github for free.

For integration, refer to using Git with Visual Studio , which indicates that this is possible.

Answer 2

I'm not sure about integration with VS, but I used the excellent Windows Tortoise plugins. We constantly use Tortoise-CVS and SVN, and they are fast and reliable.

They also make the Tortoise-Hg plugin for Mercurial.

Answer 3

This may sound funny, but I rarely use integration with VS, although I have one.

Turtles and the command line work fine, while Bzr and Hg have workable turtles.

Answer 4

AnkhSVN works great for me and my team.

If you need VStudio distributed integration, you are talking about Plastic SCM

The entire graphical interface is integrated with VStudio 2005 and higher, and integration with SCC is available with VStudio 6.

It directly supports renaming and moving files from VStudio.

SCM plastic is free for students, for open source projects and, most likely, you can also get free licenses for personal projects.

Answer 6

There is VisualHG , and TortoiseHG is Visual Studio Plaugin.

Answer 7

I use subversion and tortoisesvn. For integration with VS, I use VisualSVN, which costs money, but it is quite cheap and works flawlessly. There are free subversion version control provider packages for Visual Studio, and I tried several, but VisualSVN worked much better, so I went with it.

Answer 8

I like to use KilnHG (which is an online wrapper around Mercurial) - it's free for a small number of developers from what I can recall.
