Code repository

We are running svn ( http://subversion.tigris.org/) - multiplatform revision code.

  • Mac OS X - included with the OS - or get it using e.g. macports
  • Linux - should be available from your distro, find it using apt-cache search subversion or yum search subversion or...
  • Windows - get it from e.g.  http://tortoisesvn.net/

Quick survival guide:

  • Check out a copy using
    • svn co  https://svn.mccode.org/svn/ESSshare/ (The URL is part of the command!. A directory with contents is created on your disk. On first access, you will be prompted for your username/password)
  • Update your current copy (use cd to change dir to ESSshare) to reflect what others did:
    • svn update
  • To add a file (must be followed by svn commit):
    • svn add filename.instr
  • To remove a file (must be followed by svn commit):
    • svn remove filename.instr
  • To commit changes made:
    • svn commit [filename.instr] - An editor is spawned where you should enter a meaningful log message
