Start the Project from zero
#: This is when you have the project started by someone else (i.e. Professor, other team-members, etc.) and you want to copy the work into your own repository and continue the work.
=== Start the Project from zero ===
* '''checkout''' the project repository in a new directory on your computer;
*:# ''Create a new directory on your computer, right click on it and then click on '''SVN Checkout'''
*:# In '''URL of repository''' type your repository path (svn://zenit.senecac.on.ca/....)
*:# click on ok
* If the basic directories (trunk, tags, branches) don't exist create them and then add them by right clicking on them and selecting '''...SVN/Add'''.
* In trunk, create your basic project framework, compile and run it. (this could be as simple as few empty files or a Hello world application).
* Right click on the trunk and select '''....SVN/Add''' again and select all the needed file to be added to the repository.
*: Add only those files that should be tracked for modification; "Those need to be version-controlled". Binary and Executable files are usually not added to the repository; Only add them if you know what you are doing.
