Setting up Subversion client on Mac

Oct 16

Posted by Anuj Gakhar in Mac, Subversion | 4 Comments

As the title says, I was trying to setup my Mac with a Subversion client. Althought I have been using Mac for a few months now, I always jump into my Windows VM to do certain things and this was one of them (purely because I like TortoiseSVN). However, today, I decided to setup Mac with a Subversion client. I know we can always use Subeclipse as an Eclipse plugin and that would serve all your requirements but I wanted something that would integrate with the Finder window. So, it turns out that I had to install the Subversion client and ScPlugin to get that working.

I found a really good step by step blog post on the very same subject and I thought I’d mention it here as a thanks to the author for taking the time to write a detailed informative post.

How to upgrade WordPress using Subversion

Aug 7

Posted by Anuj Gakhar in Blogging, Subversion | No Comments

I just spotted this interesting article on How to Upgrade your WordPress installation using Subversion . The article talks about how first timers can start using Subversion to download the latest version of WordPress, how you can switch your existing blog to start using Subversion for updates, how you can download the bleeding edge versions, the stable versions and even older versions.

Really useful article. I have been using the WordPress Automatic Upgrade Plugin for my updates till now, but I might give this one a try once I get some free time.

The problem with that is, it needs to be done on the SVN server and not always you’ve got access to that. But as a developer you can force yourself to always comment before committing, as well. This one is particulary to do with TortoiseSVN as thats what I currently use at work. Read the rest of this entry »

How to force Comments on SVN Commit

Feb 14

Posted by Anuj Gakhar in Subversion | 38 Comments

If you are using Subversion, you might have come across this issue. Multiple developers working on a set of files and committing them without any comments. If you decide to force comments on every commit, here is a little pre-commit hook script that will do the job. Just to be clear, a pre-commit script is fired when the user hits the ‘OK’ button on the commit dialog box.

This script would need to be under /{repository-location}/hooks/. There are some template scripts already in there and this one is probably a slight modification of one of those samples in there. Read the rest of this entry »

I just read on Jim Priest’s blog about this SVN related free book and I think its a great book. Being a regular SVN user for almost all my work, I think this book can be very useful for me or anyone else who uses SVN. Thanks Jim.
