Ever made a stupid change to your script that you wanted to revert? Ever wanted to go back a ``few saves''. Ever got tired of constantly creating new google code (if you use any version control at all) for each and every script you make? Here's a solution: use git.
Git is also extremely useful when you're just using it locally. You don't need a ``server'' at all. You can just tell git to create a new repos in a specific folder, and you're done.
May I suggest (for all the windows users): TortoiseGit. It's just like TortoiseSvn, so there's hardly a difference when it comes to the actual user interface. (Or rather, it's similar enough)
Here: http://code.google.com/p/tortoisegit/ (You may also need to install msysgit)
After you've installed it, you can just go to a folder (enter it) and do "Git Create Repository Here". Voila. Your repository is created. (The folder doesn't have to be empty)
Now you can add any folders you wanted tracked. You can also use commit. (Remember all the commits are local) Make sure you commit if you want to save or compare changes)
If you want to learn more about git, see one of my other posts or have a look at the git book. ( http://book.git-scm.com/ )
Happy version controlling!
E: This also works well for homework.
