Throwback time! Calling all coding veterans: Where did you stash your code before cloud repositories? πŸ€”

@nixCraft What do you mean "before cloud repositories"... like before there was the internet at all? The cloud is just a word for "something on the internet", you have to go back quite a ways before repos were hosted on the internet.

In general its GIT now, before that it was SVN, before that it was CVS. Around the CVS time and a little before you had stuff like "Visual source safe" which is likely the only source code repository people really used without the internet getting involved, that was local and i think remote was an option too. Before that we really didnt do versioned repos, it was just plain old files.

@freemo @nixCraft well, there was SCCS on Unix systems. Included on SunOS I believe, and predates it back into the 70s.

Totally forgot about that, also I dont think I ever used it. But now that you mentioned it I do recall hearing about it before.
