Hi Karthik,

I suggest you look into:

* Subversion (SVN)

* CVS

* the command 'diff' (man diff)

* the command 'rsync' (man rsync)

* more...

On  the  face  of  it,  these  may  appear  like  bare-bone,  command-line
untilities  to you. Yet, that is only a subset of the wealth of mechanisms
that  exists  at the lower level of GNU/Linux (remember scriptability  and
compartmentalisation  for abstraction). If you search sourceforge.net  and
freshmeat.net,  you  will  find many graphical user interfaces  and  front
ends. There is a true abundance of them, so I will not hunt for links. Get
yourself some GUI that serves you in the same way as Beyond Compare.

Best wishes and good luck,

Roy
