Disclaimer Most of you aren’t going to have a clue what I’m talking about. I sincerely apologize ahead of time. I’ll attempt a layman’s explanation, but I make no promises. I’ll try to link to unfamiliar terms. Backstory Even before my new job - oh yea, by the way, I’m a web developer now, fancy that - I was practicing with DVCS as a hobby. A Distributed Version Control System is just a way of tracking the history of source code files throughout the life of a project. There are two major DVCS’s out there, Git and Mercurial . It seems Git is more widely used and more widely accepted for projects with multiple developers (and I’m learning it for work), but I like to use Mercurial for my personal projects because that’s what I taught myself.

Of late, I've uploaded a storm of repositories. In the past, I was trying to consolidate by language and even set up my own library through the use of sub-repositories. It has come to my attention that is not the typical way of using repositories, and that it is perfectly common to make a repository for each project, even if there is only one or two files in it. So that is what I'm attempting.
