I'm just getting started with svn so please, help me out if I saw anything stupid.
I'm developing on a windows laptop using tortoisesvn. I'm deploying to a linux server.
I have my repo set up and checked out on my laptop.
I can't manage to check it out to a directory on the server. I've created a directory for it but can't get svn checkout file:///...
to work! Based on this tutorial the checkout
command takes the following form: svn checkout file:///repository_name/project/trunk project
but what is the repository_name
? My repo is at /home/username/svn
, I don't remember naming the repo other than saying what directory it's in.
Once I do actually have that sorted I would like to have the repo automatically export to that directory when I commit from my laptop. Is that possible?
Sorry if that's horribly unclear but I wanted to be detailed.
Basically I want to commit from my laptop and have that trigger an export of the newly commited files to a directory on the server.
