Recommend versioning software for Visual Studio 2010 Pro

Question

Can anyone recommend good versioning software for Visual Studio 2010 Pro, preferably free and easy to setup.

I use Windows 7 btw if that matters.

Answer 1

If you know git, GitExtensions integrates a plugin in Visual Studio 2010. After installation and configuration of your code repository, you can commit, switch branches, or see the history of your changes, all inside Visual Studio.

Answer 2

VisualSVN has good integration with Visual Studio and TortoiseSVN. I like it more than AnkhSVN. The single problem with VisualSVN - it's not free

Answer 3

I assume you are asking about source control? There are many different options for source control, depending on your goals and budget. TFS works best with Visual Studio 2010 and does much more than just source control, but it's not free. For free options subversion (SVN) seems to be quite popular. I used Perforce at my last job and quite liked it, but it's only free for up to 2 users or for OSS development.

Answer 4

AnkhSVN is definitely my favorite. It's a free SVN plug-in and it's really easy to use.
