I want to use a Version Control System on my computer in IAR so I could be able to keep track of my programs and changes and everything.
I have never used any sort of Version Control System before (It's a shame, I know!)I have downloaded "TortoiseSVN" and "VisualSVN Server" and have svn.exe in the path.

Now I don't know how to go forward. IAR seems to know that a Version Control System has been installed cause Version Control System item in the project options menu is enabled.
But when I click "Connect project to Subversion" nothing happens.

Do I have to setup something first?

You better use GIT. Easy to learn.

In oppose to VistualSVN Server or TortoiseSVN ?
And how do I do that?
Does GIT allow me to have a local copy of the project like other SVNs out there ? I don't want to rely on the network too much. I would rather do these things locally.
 

GIT uses local files in local repository, but can make a copy to github server.
Also, I'm using cloud service to backup local copy and share it between other my computers.

Thank you. Are you using it with IAR?
I mean does IAR detect it automatically?
Well what should I download? GitHub Desktop or Git for Windows ?
I'm confused. If I need to install something else please mention it here.
 

I'm using it with IAR, Keil, Altium, Proteus and many other s/w
IAR shouldn't detect it. You just make a code modification and GIT detects that some source files has been changed. After that you can upload your changes to repository on web or just commit them locally.
I think, you better google yourself how to use git together with github.
Also, I recommend you to choose template for C development during installation. It will add to ignore list temporary files which is updated all the time you are compiling your project.
