This page describes the usage of the command line SVN client together with the ReactOS SVN Server.
This client is also bundled with the ReactOS Build Environment for Windows. For other platforms, it is often available as a package.
Contents
Checking out the sources
Retrieve the sources from the repository by executing the following command. Replace <MODULE NAME> with the module you want to check out.
svn co svn://svn.reactos.org/reactos/trunk/<MODULE NAME>
The following command will check out the ReactOS base components (module reactos):
svn co svn://svn.reactos.org/reactos/trunk/reactos
The sources will be put in a directory on your local volume. This directory is called a working copy. Branches are handled in a different way by SVN compared to CVS.
To check out a branch use the following command. Replace <BRANCH> with the branch you want to check out.
svn co svn://svn.reactos.org/reactos/branches/<BRANCH>
Updating the sources
You can update your working copy using the following command:
svn up
This will retrieve changes made to the sources in the repository since your last checkout or update, and put them into your working copy.
Committing your changes
If you have commit (write) access, you can make changes to the repository. You can commit the local changes in your working copy using the following command:
svn ci -m "Commit message" <directory to commit>
<directory to commit> is the directory where your local changes are located. This will transfer changes made to your working copy to the repository.
The first time write access is needed, Subversion will ask for an username and password and will use that as default for all future working copies made from the same domain. It is also possible to pass "--username" and "--password" arguments to the Subversion client in order to specify the user account and password.
More information about SVN commit access can be found here.
