View source for HowTo Quickly Get A Project Started With Subversion

This HowTo will show by example how to quickly started with a new Subversion project once you have created a Subversion repository using the NST WUI.

<ol>
  <li>
   Use the NST WUI menu and navigate to the "'''Subversion Manager'''" page.
  </li>

  <li>
   Create a new Subversion repository (Ex: "'''silver'''") with description.
  </li>

  <li>
   Create a Subversion user using Action: "'''U'''" (Ex: "'''user1'''").
  </li>

  <li>
   Go to the client system that has both a "'''Subversion'''" client ''installed'' and network access to the NST system where you created the "'''Subversion'''" repository in "'''Step: 2'''" (***Note: Most Operating Systems (i.e., Windows ('''[http://www.anrichter.net/projects/qsvn/ QSvn]'''), Linux, UNIX, BSD, Solaris and Mac OS X) support either a command line or GUI based "'''Subversion'''" client.)
  </li>

  <li>
   Create a top level directory where you want to build out your project (Ex: "'''/opt/development'''") and change directory ('''cd''') to the it.
  </li>
</ol>

<pre>
[root@probe-eth0 ~]# mkdir -p /opt/development
[root@probe-eth0 ~]# cd /opt/development
[root@probe-eth0 development]#
</pre>

<ol start="6">
  <li>
    Check out your project (Ex: "'''silver'''") now for the first time ('''***Note:''' See this guide: "'''[[HowTo Configure Apache SSL For davfs, subversion, etc.]]'''" if you experience SSL Handshake errors when connecting to the NST Apache Web Server using the '''HTTPS''' protocol.):
  </li>
</ol>

ATTENTION!  Your password for authentication realm:

   <https://10.222.222.117:443> Subversion Repository (silver)

can only be stored to disk unencrypted!  You are advised to configure
your system so that Subversion can store passwords encrypted, if
possible.  See the documentation for details.
You can avoid future appearances of this warning by setting the value
of the 'store-plaintext-passwords' option to either 'yes' or 'no' in
'/root/.subversion/servers'.
