[linux] SVN check out linux

My uname -a reads :

root@edu [~]# uname -a
Linux edu.educationlinked.com 2.6.18-028stab068.3 #1 SMP Tue Feb 16 20:21:42 MSK 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I am not sure which Linux OS is this?

I already have a repository hosted at a free repository and i use Tortoise SVN on windows as the client. I need to do the check out etc on a Linux machine mentioned above.

I have read and read and got confused about what to use? Can someone please help me.

This question is related to linux svn

The answer is


There should be svn utility on you box, if installed:

$ svn checkout http://example.com/svn/somerepo somerepo

This will check out a working copy from a specified repository to a directory somerepo on our file system.

You may want to print commands, supported by this utility:

$ svn help

uname -a output in your question is identical to one, used by Parallels Virtuozzo Containers for Linux 4.0 kernel, which is based on Red Hat 5 kernel, thus your friends are rpm or the following command:

$ sudo yum install subversion

You can use checkout or co

$ svn co http://example.com/svn/app-name directory-name

Some short codes:-

  1. checkout (co)
  2. commit (ci)
  3. copy (cp)
  4. delete (del, remove,rm)
  5. diff (di)
