1. Create a folder somewhere you like to keep documents that will hold all revision controlled files. I created the ‘ALP’ folder below.
|
2. Start svnX (it should be in Applications)
|
3. Load Repository Window. If the repository window is not visible it can be loaded by navigating to Window –> Repositories.
|
4. Configure Repository (the server where the files permanently live).
|
|
| 5. Double click on the URL configured in the upper scrollable pane to launch the repository browser. |
| 6. Click the svn checkout button (left hand, big green arrow in the top right corner of the window). Browse to the folder you created to store the local copy of your documents and click open. This will do two things: download the files from the server to your machine and open a small window titled “Working Copies”. The Path field should be filled in for you already. Change the name to match the name in the repositories window (not required but makes sense to do). Fill in your username and password. |

Random Inspiration
A genuinely fundamental and hopeful improvement is 'systems' cannot happen without a significant shift in human consciousness, and ... it cannot be accomplished through a simple organizational trick. This is something no revolutionary or reformer can bring about: it can be only the natural expression of a more general state of mind in which man can see beyond the tip of his own nose and prove capable of taking on responsibility even for the things that don't immediately concern him, and relinquish some thing of his private interest in favour of the interest of the community, the general interest. Without such a mentality, even the most carfully considered project aimed at altering systems is for naught.
