[Osbootcamp-devel] svn mini-how-to

[Andrew R. <gr...@ro...>]

Hi Everyone,
 
Here are some basic instructions regarding the use of subversion for
osbootcamp's web site.
 
 
To make a copy of the code:
 
To create a work area where you can see and change the bootcamp website
files:
 
svn co  <https://osbootcamp.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/osbootcamp>
https://osbootcamp.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/osbootcamp ~/osbootcamp
 
You can create as many copies as you need. For example, if you're working on
two different things at the same time, why not create two work areas?
 
 
To see what you changed:
 
(using some work I recently did as an example)
 
svn status
M      contact.php
M      index.php
M      osbc7.php
M      sponsors.php
M      home.php

To see the differences:
 
The svn diff command will show you what you changed in the file and a little
bit of the surrounding text for context.
- prefaces the old line in the file
+ prefaces the new line in the file
 
e.g.
svn diff osbc7.php
Index: osbc7.php

To create a patch file:
 
svn diff > fix_spelling.patch
 
To commit the changes back to the repository:
 
Please NOTE: I'll grant you access to commit in time once you're trained.
 
use the svn commit command with a concise but meaningful explanation
 
e.g.
svn commit -m "Fixed some spelling mistakes in osbootcamp files."
