Hi, your questions (please excuse my limited English) concern the very basic workings of versioning. So I suggest you familiarize yourself with the concept. I am no programmer myself and keep my dissertation project under version control (e.g. subversion). For me this link was quite helpful to get started:
http://strangenoises.org/subversion-for-writers/ Your beanstalk account is basically a central storing place. When "chekin' out" you get a copy on your computer to work with. Any change then needs to be put back and _merged_ with the online version at beanstalk. You (or any colleagues) can have other _versions_ of that central suppository (the storing place) e.g. _working copies_. If you change things in one of your working copies and DIFFERENT changes on the OTHER working copies, _checking in_ means that there will be a CONFLICT to be resolved. Subversion gives you the ability to control all this, and Versions is a program to enable working with this via a nice GUI (with limits, e.g. merge). Hope that gets you started, Regards, Rolf Am 29.03.2011 um 10:33 schrieb pSouper: > Hi all, > would anyone be able to explain the process of working on the same > project from two locations using versions and beanstalk. > > I have a home and work mac, I have two versionsapp's, I have one > beanstalkapp account.
