<p>&quot;This is my stupid application that I just want to learn something&quot; is not
even a good excuse to not use a version control system.</p>
<span id="continue-reading"></span>
<p>A very long time ago, using a source control system (or Version Control
System) required installing a server, configuring it properly, installing the
client and <em>then</em> you could keep track of the changes you were doing on your
code.</p>
<p>Today there are lots of options that can work in a standalone fashion: Just
install the client and you're done (well, mostly done, you still need to
initialize the environment, but that is mostly straightforward these days).</p>
<p>And, again, there is no good reason to not start a project, as simple as it
will be, without a version control.</p>
<p>The VCS will allow you to explore new changes without breaking the main code.
It will allow you to save a half-way change to make a complete different
change.</p>
<p>And, in the long, since you'll end up with working in team and will be
required to use a VCS, you'll be used to using one.</p>
