SVN commands
The typical work cycle will use the following commands:
Update your working copy
- When working on a project with a team, you'll want to update your working copy to receive changes made by other developers since your last update
$svn update U filename1.c U filename2.c Updated to revision 2.
- U <filename> - file was updated (received changes from the server)
Make changes
svn add filename1.c
svn delete filename1.c
svn copy filename1.c filename2.c
svn move filename1.c filename2.c
Examine your changes
- After you've made changes, it's a good idea to take a look at exactly what you've changed before committing them to the repository.
$svn status
- This will detect all file and tree changes you've made
- By passing a specific path, you will get information about that item alone:
$svn status stuff/filename3.c
- D <filename/directory> - File or directory was deleted from your working copy
- A <filename/directory> - File or directory was added to your working copy
svn diff
svn revert
Merge other's changes into your working copy
svn update
svn resolved
Commit your changes
svn commit
More commands
- Compare changes from one revision to another:
svn diff --revision 1:4 filename1.cpp
- This example allows us to see what's changed between the first and fourth revision of the filename1.cpp file.
