What is Tortoisesvn

New? May not be...

SourceVersion is a source control system.  It acts like a repository of files and folders (directories) in the remote side.
It can be set up remotely on a host, and you can then store the code you are working on in it. Whatever the files and folders present over here can be edible an sharable. Any one can use it and modify that codes and programs here(if that user have the credentials),so that it can be ready for next build.

Tortoiseven is the popular client which is used to look into the subversion repository of the project.

It is used the browser to enter an address of remote repository instead of http protocol and it uses a SVN protocol.

So how can you access your project repository from the Tortoisesvn client.

Here are the steps :

It is very secure and need the credentials from the client side .

Step1
.Need to download the Tortoisesvn (version as per your need) from the below link.

http://www.filehippo.com/download_tortoisesvn/

(filehippo is the best site to download but have to check the version before you are going to download any )

Step2.

Install the files that you have download with out do any modification to the default.

Step3.

After installtion you  click on the desktop or in any folder to get the context menu and you will see a new component has added to options called SVN Checkout and TortoiseSVN as shown in the below pix.



Step4: 

Most of the time you need to connect into the VPN for secure purpose and to connect into the client network.

So before accss to repository be sure you have connected to the secure network (because it depends upon the project but most of the project use VPN for their private network).

Step5.

 Now Click on the TortoiseSVN and select Repo- browser



When you select the Repo- Browser it asl for the URL to which you are going to connect where the repository is situated and click on OK.






Step6. After provide the URL again it will ask for the credentials and login with your proper username and password and you are done .It will show the repository of your project.
This snapshot i cann't share with you because of the confidential.

But I can provide you the sample one which is shared in the internet.




From the above image we can see a sample repository where it contains different file format(.txt,.pc,.bat etc etc..)

You can show the log files by right click over there and select (show log).

So just follow my steps you will be there in the  repository of your project where you want to modify which will going to build later part of the project.
