SVN Commands

• Checkout : create/import a svn project from a repository on a server to a local computer.
• Update : update your local svn project snapshot. Apply other user modifications on your local snapshot
• Commit : apply your svn project modification (update the repository).

The SVN lifecycle is the following :

0. Check out a svn project from a repository : svn checkout svn+ssh://user@server/svn_project_directory.
1. In that project, create or edit files and subdirectories. If a file or a directory is created, it must be added with the following command : svn add name
2. Update your local copy from the repository, picking up changes your team members may have made since your last update : svn update.
3. Go to step 1. If you're ready to commit your changes, go to step 4.
4. Commit your changes to the repository : svn commit. Go to step 2.
