Add multiple messages for multiple changes. If you have been working on an existing project, make the message relevant to the changes being committed. As this is a new project the text ‘Initial Commit’ is sufficient. As this is the initial commit check the path you will commit to.Īlways add a meaningful message. Step 13: The Commit dialog will be displayed. Step 12: To physically add the added items to the SVN repository we need to Commit the changes by returning to the parent working folder, right-clicking on the working folder and select SVN Commit from the context menu. As in the image below this is usually represented by a blue cross. The files and folders added will now have an icon overlay indicating the fact they have been marked for inclusion in SVN, they have not yet been physically added to the SVN repository . Step 10: Once the OK button is clicked on the Add dialog a new dialog is displayed confirming the contents have been added. It is common practise to exclude bin and obj folders containing compiled assemblies, solution user options (.suo) and project user files (er) to name a few. Un-tick the checkboxes for the items not to be added to the SVN repository, then click OK.
Step 9: The Add dialog is displayed with the folder contents listed. Select all the working folder contents, right-click the selection and select TortoiseSVN > Add from the context menu. We need to explicitly tell SVN to include the sub files and folders in the repository.
Step 8: If the working folder already contained files and subfolders they will not yet have an icon overlay because we have only set up and linked the working folder with SVN not any of it’s contents that already existed, as they did in my case.Īs files and folders are added to the working folder they will not be added to the SVN repository automatically, so they too will not have an icon overlay initially. The green circle with a tick indicates that the working folder is up to date and in sync with the SVN repository. There are a number of icon overlays describing different states.

Step 7: Going back to Windows Explorer you will see the folder now has a green icon (known as an icon overlay). Step 6: The Checkout Finished dialog confirms a working folder has been linked to the SVN repository. Note: If the SVN repository was not empty and the working folder was not empty you do not want to checkout to the folder as you will potentially end up with mixed projects in the same folder. If the working folder was empty skip to step 6. Because we know the SVN repository is empty it is safe to click the Yes button which is what you want to do on this occasion. Step 5: After clicking the OK button this dialog will be displayed if the working folder is not empty and already contains project code. The Checkout directory will prepopulate with the location of the folder you right-clicked on. Step 4: In the checkout dialog specify the URL of the repository which you made a note of earlier. Right-click the working folder and select SVN Checkout from the context menu. In this example I am using an existing project.
VISUALSVN URL CODE
This can be an existing folder containing code for an existing project, or if this is to be a new project a new empty folder. Step 3: The next step is to set up a working folder on a local drive. In this case the trunk folder will be the main folder containing the code.īe sure to make a note of the Repository URL, you will need it later.Ĭlick OK and you now have an empty code repository in SVN. Ensure to tick the checkbox if you want the repository to contain the default folder structure (trunk, branches and tags) and I strongly recommend you do. Step 2: Specify the name of the new repository in the ‘Create New Repository’ dialog. Step 1: Create a new repository in VisualSVN (right click) Repositories > Create New Repository There may be alternative ways to perform some of these steps but this is the way I was taught and it has always worked for me.
VISUALSVN URL HOW TO
The following steps describe how to create a new repository in Visual SVN (SVN) and set it up as a working folder for your project code.
