Gitlab [1] is an open source alternative to Github and has unlimited free private repositories. It is not as full featured as Github especially in the team collaboration area but is more than enough for your use case. It takes 5 minutes to create a repo and the only gotcha is how to generate an SSH key to let git interact with it, which is explained in their help pages [2]. If you need more help with git, the git book [3] is available online for free. Using a VCS like git takes a bit of practice but once you're used to it, it is very liberating to know that you always have a golden master and that you can roll back any changes should you need to.
