In order to use VersionSQL to commit your database code to version control, you need:
Installed on your computer:
- SQL Server Management Studio 2012 or newer
- VersionSQL
Available on your computer, local network, or cloud-hosted:
- A SQL Server instance with at least one database
- This could be SQL Server Express, SQL Server Enterprise, SQL Azure, etc.
- A version control system, with a project repository created and initialized.
- There are a plethora of options available here. Some of the more popular examples include Azure DevOps, BitBucket, GitHub, GitLab, and VisualSVN. This system will give you an https repository path to supply to VersionSQL.
- You probably already have a version control system available for versioning software code. VersionSQL can commit SQL side-by-side in a repository with existing code if you so choose.
