Before you hit OK, make sure the “Create directory for solution” checkbox is checked. I’m going to use C:\TeamProjects, which already contains a few solutions in subfolders. For this example I’ll name my solution “SVNWebSite”. This will create a solution that we can later add projects to. Select “File > New Project…” in VS, and find the “Blank Solution” project type. Usually web sites don’t need or use solution files, but to make the “Get Solution from Subversion…” function to work nicely we’ll need a solution file to get. To begin, you need to create an empty Visual Studio solution. You’ll have to set up your directories a little differently than you are used to if you want to use VisualSVN with a web site project.

To minimize this fighting, I’ll explain how to set up a new VisualSVN-enabled web site. This menu will soon become one of your best friends, but first you’ll might have to fight with it a bit.

Just a quick review before we get into the details – the following programs are needed for everything to work:Īfter you install VisualSVN and open Visual Studio, you’ll notice the VisualSVN menu. I’ll brush over the actual installation, but note that if you have multiple versions of Visual Studio installed, VisualSVN will work with them all (except for the free Visual Studio Express Editions).

A 30-day full-featured trial is available, and if you participate in an open-source project you can get a license for free! Even if you don’t qualify for the free license, I would highly suggest checking out this great piece of software – once you get used to it you’ll love it.

To get started we’ll first need to download VisualSVN. AnkhSVN is great, but in my experience it’s a little more complicated that what most people need.
There are a few other Subversion add-ins for Visual Studio out there, the most popular probably being AnkhSVN. To explain: TortoiseSVN allows you to access Subversion functions from Windows with a nice GUI, and VisualSVN allows you to access TortoiseSVN from within Visual Studio. However, VisualSVN uses TortoiseSVN for its functions, so really VisualSVN is just another way to use TortoiseSVN. The difference between the two is that TortoiseSVN is a “add-in” for Windows and VisualSVN is an add-in for Visual Studio. VisualSVN is simply a front-end for the command line Subversion functions, just like TortoiseSVN. Since I primarily use Visual Studio, this post will explain how to use a plugin called VisualSVN to manage your repository without having to leave Visual Studio. Luckily for us, there are ways to integrate Subversion with most of the popular IDEs. We used TortoiseSVN from the Windows shell, and while this was really easy to do it isn’t always the most convenient. The previous post explained the basics of using Subversion.

And when and if you grow out of these settings, you can later easily grab your code base (this is nothing more then a directory with files, in SVN format) and copy it into any other host and configure with any other server, including some which are non-SVN.
In other words, if your team works in the same LAN or same domain, free-of-charge "Standard Edition" is perfectly suitable. So, even in distributed international team, we used SVN authentication, via HTTPS, for safety.Īll other Enterprise features are absolutely not needed, simply because people playing the role of administrators can access the server's host locally. If you use passwords, the are not stored anywhere, like with in a decent system (hash functions are stored, finding out passwords is cryptographically infeasible). Why not? Nobody from outside worlds cannot access it anyway, and all the moves are recorded. We usually worked on a local domain without passwords, to make it less annoying. Here is the idea: I advice to use only the server authentication, not Windows. Developers can decide by themselves.Īs far as pricing and license are concerned: Seriously, you should only recommend developers something, but never enforce any particular client. First, it's too intrusive for me, and, more importantly, what to do with non-VS development? To me, the ideal solution is TortoiseSVN. I, for example, hate the idea of Visual Studio plug-in. If the team is distributed, I would recommend dedicated development Linux server and HTTPS (you will also need a certificate, at least self-signed).Īs the the client SVN, I think this is a matter of decision of every individual developers.
It also depends on this: is your team distributed, or it is in one LAN. If you are asking about SVN server, I tried many and found that the two very best are:ġ) SVN Server for Linux 2) for Windows, Visual SVN server is by far the best.
