"Go" Subversion QuickStart Tutorial-animated Demo

This is the quickest tutorial to use Subversion to help you set up a server environment that is available in the shortest possible time and can be applied to real projects with a little tweaking.
This tutorial is divided into the following sections, in order to illustrate the simplicity, the tutorial is used under windows in a way that facilitates resource-constrained projects. In the UNIX environment, the command execution is not very different except for the installation method.

• Software download
• Server and Client Installation
• Build Repository (Repository)
• Configure Users and Permissions
• Running a standalone server
• Initialize Import
• Basic client Operations

1. Download the Subversion server program from software download.

To the official website of the download binary installation file, come to the binary package download section, find the Windows NT, the 2003, XP and the parts, then choose Apache 2.0 or Apache 2.2, so that we can see a lot of downloaded content, Setup-subversion-1.5.3.msi can now be downloaded.

Download subversion for Windows client TortoiseSVN.

TortoiseSVN is a set of tools for extending Windows shell that can be thought of as a plug-in for Windows Explorer, and Windows can identify the working directory of Subversion after installation.
The official website is tortoisesvn, download way and similar to the previous SVN server, on the download page we can choose to download the version, The current highest stable version of the installation file is Tortoisesvn-1.5.5.14361-win32-svn-1.5.4.msi.

2, Server and client Installation

Server installation, directly run Setup-subversion-1.5.3.msi, according to the prompts to install, so that we have a set of servers to run the environment.

Install TORTOISESVN, Also directly run Tortoisesvn-1.5.5.14361-win32-svn-1.5.4.msi follow the prompts to install, but after the final completion will prompt whether to restart, in fact, restart just make SVN work copy in Windows Special style takes effect, and all the actual function is irrelevant, here in order to immediately See the good effect, or restart the machine.

3, Build repository (Repository)

Running the Subversion server requires first establishing a repository (Repository), which can be viewed as a database of data on the server and can be run directly after the Subversion server is installed, such as:

Svnadmin Create E:\svndemo\repository

A repository is created under directory E:\svndemo\repository.

We can also use TORTOISESVN to graphically complete this step:
In the directory E:\svndemo\repository "right->tortoisesvn->create Repository here ...", then you can choose the repository mode, where the default is used, and then create a series of directories and files.

4, configuring Users and Permissions

Come to E:\svndemo\repository\conf directory, modify svnserve.conf:
# [General]
# password-db = passwd
Switch
[General]
Password-db = passwd

Then modify the passwd file for the same directory, removing the comments from the following three lines:
# [Users]
# Harry = Harryssecret
# sally = Sallyssecret
Finally becomes:
[Users]
Harry = Harryssecret
Sally = Sallyssecret

In the passwd file, the character before "=" is the user name, followed by the password. Also note that the comment "#" in front of "[Users]" must be removed.

5, running a standalone server

Run in any directory:
Svnserve-d-R E:\svndemo\repository Our server program has started. be careful not to close the command-line window, and close the window will also stop Svnserve.

6, initialize the import

Come to the root of the project that we want to import, in this case it is E:\svndemo\initproject, and there is a Readme.txt file in the directory:

Right-click->tortoisesvn->import ...
Enter "Svn://localhost/trunk" in URL of repository
Enter your log information in the import message

After the completion of the directory without any changes, if there is no error, the data has been fully imported into the repository we have just defined.

It is important to note that this step can be done entirely on another host with TortoiseSVN installed. For example, the IP of the host running Svnserve is 133.96.121.22, and the URL part of the input is "Svn://133.96.121.22/trunk".

7, Basic client operation

Remove Repository to a working copy:

Come to any empty directory, in this case E:\SVNDEMO\WC1, run right->checkout, enter svn://localhost/trunk in URL of repository, so we get a copy of the work.

Make changes in the working copy and submit:

Open the Readme.txt, make the changes, then right-->commit ... so we can commit the changes to the repository and we'll run it.

Review the changes made:

Readme.txt Right-->tortoisesvn->show Log so we can see all the commits we have for this file. On version 1 Right-->compare with working copy, we can compare the difference between the working copy of the file and version 1.

Finally, all the content has been recorded as an animated file, you can refer to.
