How to manage project versions in Linux ?

[AnneRanch]

I am looking for opinions.
In real world - things fail - operating system fails....
hardware ( disks ) fails...

For instance in Linux "grub" goes crazy after some "updates"
run "update-grub" automatically. .
System won't even boot same time - various parts fail-
but most of the time it boots.

RAID won't mount on boot
etc etc
I keep track of my project by copying the entire project folder.
I have build separate QT programs folder / folders.
It has been challenge to control "examples" - especially when they are
different in releases.

I do not do "Ubuntu backup".

Does anybody have a different solution ?

Hi
Many use an online code revision system as not to lose code if the system fails.
Like https://bitbucket.org/product

You don't have to use an online service but if you use it only locally, the safety is lacking.

Alternatively, you can use a sync service like pcloud and let it store copies of the projects into the cloud.
