I’ve been going through a Fall cleaning of sorts in my house, my office, and now my computer. I feel like I’ve gotten a little too lax with my files and code security so it’s time to try a new system and see if I can keep up with it and lessen the risk of losing all my bits of projects scattered all over the place.

With all this Git hype, I’m going to give it a try.

When it comes to all these projects I have everywhere, I’m just a one man team — I don’t need to share the code base with anyone. Also, I need a lot of repositories — I’m not like a team focusing on one project. I skip around, and I’m great at not finishing some of them but I want to keep them around of course. So I started looking around for reasonable Git hosts. I hear a lot of good things about GitHub, but with the number of repositories I’ll use, I’ll quickly be paying more than I’m willing too at this time. Similar problem with Unfuddle. Now, I have to say, I may very well go with GitHub due to it’s reputation if I only needed one (or a couple) repos. But for my case ProjectLocker really seems to fit the bill because with the free account I’m limited by space, not project number, repository count, or having to have the projects public (I want them private!).
