Vversioning, a quick and dirty code versioning system
For some projects you need a real code versioning system (like git
or similar tools).
But for some others, typically micro-size projects, you sometimes don't want to use a complex tool. You might want to move to git later when the project gets bigger, or when you want to publish it online, but using git for any small project you begin creates a lot of friction for some users like me. Examples:
User A: "I rarely use git. If I use it for this project, will I remember which commands to use in 5 years when I'll want to reopen this project? Or will I get stuck with git wtf
and unable to quickly see the different versions?".
User B: "I want to be able to see the different versions of my code even if no software like git is installed (ex: using my parents' computer)."
User C: "My project is just a single file. I don't want to use a complex versioning system for this. How can I archive the versions?"
For this reason, I just made this:
It is a (quick and dirty) versioning system, done in less than 50 lines of Python code.
