When I am working with a template, I tend to make copies of the index.php, and the relevant .css files with the suffix _orig, like index_orig.php....that way, if I screw up, I can just copy back the orig file.
Other than not making mistakes, is there an easier way? I don't have command line access to my server, but I am still interested in a command-line way to copy all of my blah.css files to blah_orig.css, so that I don't have to do so manually when I start working with the template, because I do have SSH on some of my servers.
What other systems to you folks use for versioning your template changes?
Thanks,
Ken

Develop locally!
There are a number of options for running a complete Joomla! install on your local machine. This is the fastest way to develop. For template work, that's probably all you need. If you really want to go all out, then get Eclipse and SVN, and run a full fledged version control environment. If you are working with other people, then SVN is the way to go. If you are developing components, then it is also the way to go. If you are just working on some template mods, it might be overkill. - www.gofftech.com Web Design

Ken...I use JoomXplorer and just copy/rename my stuff before I make any significant changes that I feel could really screw things up.
