Building a new version of a program

Hello all, I am in the process of working on a project, and I want to begging a new version every time I make major changes. But I am having problems going from "xxxv1_1" to "xxxv1_2" without renaming everything. I was wondering fi there was any shortcut to keeping track of versions of a software as I imagine it is something programmers must do everyday.

Hi,

If you are using Visual Studio you can use the git source control. I think atmel also has an extension for this but I am not entirely sure.

Another less clever but easier way can be to just copy the sketch folder and paste it into a backup/ver_x folder 

I also should say that I have been giving this some thought recently after a few other similar questions. I am wondering if Vm could automatically backup sketches or provide a button that quickly makes a copy into a time/dated folder.

Hope that helps

Yeah that is great thank you. I am using atmel I will check to see if I have a similar option.

I would still like to hear other methods if anyone else has some to share.

Someone has also suggested a "duplicate" function would be useful which makes a lot of sense. This is slightly different to backup but same end result. Hopefully a quick way to duplicate a sketch.
