HowTo: Use Tortoise SVN

Tortoise SVN is a powerfull tool to manage SubVersion files.

Homepage of Tortoise software is tortoisesvn.tigris.org

This post will concern about three aspects of Tortoise use:
  1. Creation of CheckOut folder
  2. Updating that folder
  3. Exporting files from CheckOut folder

First of all install SVN software.
It can be donwloaded from this page: Download | TortoiseSVN .



Creation of CheckOut folder
Second step on SVN knowledge is understanding how to create a CheckOut folder of the SVN repository folder.
The checkout folder will contain a copy of all files from online repository updated to the last Revision (usually).
Create a folder where you want and give it a name (in next image you will see my future checkout folder).



Rightclick on folder to open the context-menu.



Click SVN CheckOut.
A menu should appear like this:



In first text entry box put Revision 213: /devel .
In second put the absolute path of your folder (it should be exact if you right-clicked the folder).
Click "ok" and the process should start.
When finished our folder should look like this:





Updating CheckOut folder
Updating our CheckOut folder is really easy.
Right-click on CheckOut folder and open the context-menu.



Click SVN Update and update process will start.
When finished a message box will appear showing us the log of updating operation.



That's done.



Exporting files from CheckOut folder
Right-click on CheckOut folder and open the context-menu.



Go to TortoiseSVN --> Export.
Tortoise will ask a folder to export to.



Choose a valid folder and press OK.
The export process will be done.


Good SVN RunUo devs.
