Version Control 101
[ 60 ]
Currently our repository is completely empty, and ideally we need to define a
basic structure to keep things organized later. We could make these changes on our
working copy, but instead we'll make them directly in our repository.
First we will ensure that subversion works and we can access our server from
our client.
We need to perform the following steps from a command prompt (Start menu,
Run, type cmd, and click OK) for Microsoft Windows, or in a terminal on our client
machine. No special privileges are required.
1. For Microsoft Windows only, Type c: and press Enter.
2. Type cd \ (Microsoft Windows) or cd (Linux) and press Enter.
3. Type mkdir projects and press Enter.
4. Type cd projects and press Enter.
This is were be will store our working copies once we start using them. Note that on
Microsoft Windows we are creating this folder in the root of the C: drive, while we
are creating it under our home directory on Linux. We can store this folder anywhere
we like on our client machines.
1. Type svn info http://servername/svn/sandbox and press Enter.
We should be prompted for authentication to access our repository??”these are the
same details we used to log into Trac. We will first be prompted to authenticate with
our current username.
