The source server can be used to host your subversion reporitories.
Creating a repository
Contact JP Renaud or Gethin Williams to get a subversion account. For the sake of explanation, lt's call your project myproject and the login mylogin.
The repository will be accessible at the URL http://source.ggy.bris.ac.uk/subversion/myproject
Using the command line client
Importating data in your repository
If the data that you want to import into the repository is in the folder localfolder, you need to send the data inside this folder to the subversion repository. We recommend that you import your data into the trunk section of the repository. Using a trunk will allow you to branch and tag later on in your development. Read the Subversion pages for detailed information about this. The following command will do
svn import http://source.ggy.bris.ac.uk/subversion/myproject/trunk --user-name mylogin -m "Initial import. "
This will import the content of localfolder into the repository and will use "Initial import" as the log message.
Day to day work
To start working, you first need to checkout your repository:
svn checkout http://source.ggy.bris.ac.uk/subversion/myproject/trunk --user-name mylogin workingcopy
Read the Subversion pages to understand how to use the repository for your daily work.
Using TortoiseSVN on Windows
Other graphical interfaces
Using websvn
After importing data in your repository, you can browse it vi a web interface called WebSVN. On the source server, the WebSVN frontend is located at http://source.ggy.bris.ac.uk/websvn. You will be asked for your login information and the repositories to which you have access will be visible.
Changing login
The login information is cached and if for some reason you want to login as another user (myotherlogin), use the following URL: http://myotherlogin@source.ggy.bris.ac.uk/websvn
