Currently using Atlassian Sourcetree and Bitbucket as the external repository with FoxBin2prg from Codeplex.
Works fine but the learning curve especially Branching & Merging is not straightforward. Only issues were/are when one developer lags behind and others commit to the main repository. Getting his updates back in can sometimes be messy as the Git error messages are definitely NOT intuitive!

Source code control is a must no matter how many projects you are working on or how elaborate they are. While I guess that zip files could be used, I can't imagine the hassle that that would require. ----------------------------- Michael Oke, II oke...@gmail.com 661-349-6221 ----------------------------- On Fri, Mar 4, 2016 at 12:02 PM, < mbsoftwaresoluti...@mbsoftwaresolutions.com> wrote: > On 2016-03-04 06:34, Ted Roche wrote: > >> On Fri, Mar 4, 2016 at 6:06 AM, Dave Crozier <da...@flexipol.co.uk> >> wrote: >> >>> Also you can, of course, drag and drop from one project to another >>> with no problems..
