Using Subversion with Xcode 3.0. When you’re coding a huge project in Xcode, and you’ve written all of this awesome stuff, it’s almost done, and the big release is coming soon, that’s when the worst happens: The hard drive that had all of your code on it dies suddenlyYou didn’t have a backup in TimeMachineFiles become corruptedYou remove some important code, or overwrite it, accidentally – and save over your only copy; and you don’t know how you’ll ever manage to rewrite those thousands of lines of code over againAll of the above This is where Subversion (called “SVN” for short) comes in handy. What does it do? Well, in addition to storing a backup copy of your files, it is a “version control” system. This means that every time you upload a new/changed copy of something, it’s saved as a new revision of the file, not replacing the existing.

All of those revisions are kept, so if you need to “roll back” to a previous version, you only need to tell the “repository” which version you want. Version Control with Subversion and Xcode.

Most new developers, especially those with no serious intentions of becoming a professional programmer, generally think of version control software as being something that they don't need.

Heck, I resisted using it for a long time even after programming became my livelihood because on most of my projects, I was the sole developer. Concurrency just isn't an issue with one developer, right? Well, yes, that's true. But, version control is still worth using even if you're a sole developer.

Putting your projects under version control gives you the ability to "undo" past the time you last opened Xcode. It keeps a record of what your code has looked like over time, and gives you an extra level of backup. Accidentally throw your project in the trash and empty it? And, everything you need to use version control is already on your hard drive, and Xcode knows all about version control, so it's not exactly hard to use. Note: I know a lot of people love git.
