Creating a new local repo

Here's the quick how-to add a new mohid_net project from our local intranet repository:

• Create a new folder:

• Right click the new folder and select svn checkout...:

• Set the central server repo address as https://davinci.maretec.ist.utl.pt:8443/svn/mohid_net/trunk/, then click ok:

• Insert your subversion user name and password. Then click ok.

• Get the files, and when it's done click ok:

• That's it! You've imported the whole project!

Getting the latest version of the code

• To refresh and get the latest version of the code simply right-click on your local-repository, and then select the SVN update option:

• Once the new files are downloaded, simply hit the ok button.

• That's it!

Commiting changes to the code

• Now whenever you feel like to commit your changes, if any (provided that you are granted the rights to do so - ask the mohid code administrators for a user name and the write permission), simply right click the subversioned folder, and click Svn commit...:

• Make sure you log all your changes, then click ok:

• And... it's done!

Syncing method

Svn can be used in very inventive ways. One of them is to use google code hosting services to keep your favorite tools' configuration files. Here below we give an example of how to keep in-sync your Opera profile.

Pre-requisites:

• An svn client,
• A web-based svn repository.

windows

Here's a batch file that allows to sync your opera profile. The same batch file is a little bit more detailed in the Opera article in this wiki.

REM OperaSync2.bat
@echo off

set TARGET=C:\Documents and Settings\Guillaume\Application Data\Opera\Opera\profile
set PROG=Opera
set EXEC=C:\Programas\Opera\%PROG%.exe
set REPO=https://preopmodel.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/%PROG%Sync
set USER=

echo Checking out from %REPO% ...
svn checkout %REPO% "%TARGET%" --username %USER%
echo %PROG% running ...
%EXEC%
echo Commiting to %REPO% ...
svn commit -m --force-log "%TARGET%"
echo Done.

@echo on

NOTE: The first time you run the file, you'll be prompted for a password.
