However, once github came around, we stopped using svn. Not that github was better, but because of the fact that github didn't require an svn setup. > > **Cons**: The setup was hard, but once that was taken care of, it was smooth sailing. ----- ### "SVN user forced into GIT" — 5.0/5 > **Andrew** | *6 September 2022* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use and follow. Not a huge learning curve compared to GIT / Bitbucket > > **Cons**: Tracking the merges is a pain compared to GIT > > Used this daily across many projects for version control. ----- ### "The minimum requirement for version control" — 3.0/5 > **Matthew** | *16 October 2019* | Environmental Services | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: Subversion (or SVN) is an easy to setup and use service and provides a comprehensive history of changes made to code. It's difficult to go wrong with SVN, owing due to how simple it is in concept. > > **Cons**: Subversion has been largely overtaken by Git as the industry standard, as it lacks features such as offline branches and support for intelligent branching and merging as a platform compared to its competitor, though it remains a viable workflow for smaller scale projects. > > My experience with Subversion is a little dated, as I have since migrated most of our repositories to Git, but in the past it served its purpose for basic version control, despite lacking the extra feature sets of Git. ----- ### "Subversion (SVN) has saved my bacon many times" — 5.0/5 > **Lloyd** | *1 July 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Lets me back out my software in a structured way until I find a previous rev that works, and then lets me see the differences in the broken and working versions. Also lets me find out what date each line of code was modified on, and who made the changes, and what rev of the code it was. A must for single-user code development, and ok for multiple users. > > **Cons**: Gets complicated if the repository has to move to a different computer. If you will have a lot of developers working on the same project, use Git and host it at Github. ----- ### "A good solution when every one is on site" — 4.0/5 > **Olivier** | *20 December 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's the historical replacement for Visual Source Safe, with a central server that makes upper management feel safe. > > **Cons**: Nothing can be done offline, and branch management is not optimal at all ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2050557/apache-subversion?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2050557/apache-subversion) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | ----- ## Structured Data
