Ubuntu, using SVN from Terminal

Hello everybody,

One day I had problems with GUI SVN client and a big headache how to commit my changes. I have found how to do that using terminal and from that moment I'm not using any single GUI SVN client :))

1. Getting SVN sources from the svn Repository:
-- Go to the folder you want To make you project's folder and Type A simple command:

~ $ SVN Co 'here address of SVN repo'

Emaple: SVN Co https://crossfire.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/crossfire
If SVN is not installed, just type:

~ $ Sudo apt-Get install Subversion

-- Nano editor is needed for adding comments

~ $ Sudo apt-Get install nano

2. Updating sources from the svn:
-- Go To The your project's root directory, example:/home/yahor/projects/some_project/trunk <--- and then there are going project structure, so trunk is a root project's folder, then type:

~ $ SVN up

-- Yep, only 2 words :))

3. Adding/removing files and directories into SVN:
-- A) go to the root Dir of the project or B) Go to the file via all folders, So if you type 'LS' you will see this file
A1 )~ $ SVN add ~ /Projects/some_project/some_folder/some_file_to_add.java
A2-you are in the root proj DIR )~ $ SVN add some_folder/some_file_to_add.java
B-you in the file's dir )~ $ SVN add some_file_to_add.java
To remove files, change 'add' in the command to 'delete ':)
-- After you have added/deleted the file, you need to do a commit to apply changes!

4. Committing added/deleted/modified files:
-- Single file choosing logic is same as for Delete and add, just another command is used
-- If you want to commit program files, just list them after 'cies' using space between file paths
-- If you want to commit all changes, just type 'snv cies' like 'svn up'

~ $ Svn ci file_to_commit.java
~ $ Svn ci file_to_commit.java file_to_commit2.java
~ $ SVN Ci

-- After you will hit the enter, you will see nano Editor (SUDO apt-Get install nano) text enter area for commit comment, and list of files you are going to commit. to complete commit do following:
1. Enter comment;
2. hit Ctrl + X;
3. Confirm changes 'y ';
4. Hit enter;
5. Enjoy :)

5. SVN status or how to check the state of the project
It is very simple to check what files are modified, added or removed:
-- Type A command in the project's root folder and it will list all modified files
-- Then you can type 'svn cies' and copy using clipboard all files you want to commit delimiting them by space!

~ $ SVN status

6. Revert your current working copy revision to the previous or custom Revision:

~ $ SVN up-r revision_number

7. Get revisions history:

~ $ SVN log

8. Do not hesitate to use grep (use man grep to find more info) for searching necessary modifications in the project:
(Show only modified files)

~ $ SVN st | grep ^ m .*


Very simple and useful.

Happy subversioning (:

Best regards,
Yahor
