SVN for Mac, explained… F***ING FINALLY!
Chris J. Davis, already ranked with several gold stars in my book, for his WordPress evangelism and kick-ass Rate-It WordPress plugin, has outdone himself once again. Why, you ask? Because he broke down SVN (an open-source version control software) into a simple, layman’s set of instructions that we can use on a Mac without going insane over Terminal black magic.
You can find his post here. I’m still a bit lost on where exactly I have or need to set up my SVN repository. If anyone can provide enlightenment, please do.
I swear, I’m not a unix fan, but the terminal is not black magic. Terminal svn actually isn’t that bad, and the only way I know of to setup a repository (and not just access one) is from the command line. At least on most unix installations, what you’re looking for is the “svnadmin create” command. To get started with svnadmin, check out these links:
