I almost forgot about RCS! Keeping this for my future reference. This revision control system required minimum setup. What I need is just simply to have RCS installed. To install in Ubuntu : sudo apt-get install rcs To check-in your file : ci filename You will see a new file created in the same directory : filename,v And you'll wondering where your file is. To keep your file "visible", add the -u switch. ci -u filename To make it more organized, create a RCS directory in your working directory, so the ,v file will be stored in RCS directory. If you are using the ci without -u switch, you can use co command to checkout the file. co filename To check out and lock the file for edit, use the -l switch : co -l filename To do a diff with your changes and the last check-in version : rcsdiff filename To see the log and change summary of each check-in : rlog filename Some screenshots for the above mentioned commands.
