Project management system or "how to store completed work"?

Question

CVS

Greetings.
As the number of projects and personal developments increases, the question arises of how to store files / documents, so that everything is more or less systematized and that access is problem-free and at least some kind of security.
Considered different version control systems git, reamine, etc.
Undecided whether you need such a massive for one person.
Storage on a remote server is not suitable (unless the copy is encrypted).
Free solution only.
The main wishes are the ability to get a file / document without third-party software.
Availability of comments (the ability to leave them)
Convenient search for projects
Preferably categories / tags for grouping projects
Ease of transfer to another system / PC
What solutions can you recommend for more detailed study?

Answer 1

I tried many different ways myself, even bought a Jira + Stash license at one time. It required a repository of repositories, a wiki for documentation, and something of an issue tracker. Settled on gitlab. A very cool tool. There is a simple issue tracker, a wiki like on a github (git), a wall (something like a chat between developers). When you need to work in a team, I open access to one or another turnip. Access rights are insisted. Also paranoid, so I set it up via https.
You can use it on a virtual machine if you don't want to remotely. Everything is very easy to transfer - the ability to make backups and restore is built into the engine. Everything else that you described is present.
Of. Website: gitlab.org/
Demo: demo.gitlab.com/users/sign_in
Free hosting (you can try to play around with the test project): gitlab.com/users/sign_in

Answer 2

I will support the opinion of AgentSIB and add it as an option bitbucket.org/

Answer 3

I store something like this under Linux, under Windows:
~/%login%/dev/work/%projectname%/ - that is, all actively working projects
~/%login%/dev/test/%projectname% / - i.e. all temporary projects created to test some kind of functional thread.
~/%login%/dev/old/%projectname%/ - i.e. all projects that went into the archive.
If you need backup / copy - in zip and on a blank, for example.
For active development at home, MS TFS12 will be deployed, but it is possible that I will crawl into it, but in the Azure cloud.
Regularly in Windows, the search can pick zip archives, in Linux you can configure it in the same way.

Answer 4

What are the files? Sources or not? If not, just Gdocs.

Answer 5

Between gitlab.org and bitbucket.org the choice is simple:
- you have your own server / virtual machine then gitlab.org , installation instructions on Debian / Ubuntu
- you prefer to do without administration then bitbucket.org (free for five users, further on the price )
Both choices will allow you to have private repositories.
