So I know how people are having a hard time getting svn working correctly and I thought I'd share some useful aliases Ive been using. <br><br>A short explaination of aliases: you can define your own commands in the terminal by setting 'aliases'. These are defined in the '.aliases' file. To see your current aliases, type 'alias' in the terminal. This will give you a good idea of what they do.<br>
<br>You can just copy/paste these into your .aliases file (it's a hidden file in the home dir) and put in your netid. You will then need to run 'source .aliases' or restart your terminal for them to work. <br>
<br>Here is the most useful one:<br>
<br>
<b>alias svncp 'svn copy <a href="http://class.ged.idyll.org/svn/nermal/trunk">http://class.ged.idyll.org/svn/nermal/trunk</a> <a href="http://class.ged.idyll.org/svn/nermal/">http://class.ged.idyll.org/svn/nermal/</a>\!:1 -m \!:2*'</b><br>
Usage: svncp <destination> "<comment>"<br>
Example: svncp hw8 "turning in hw8"<br>
<br>Use this to turn in homework! I
would actually recommend naming it something else instead of 'svncp'
though as 'svn cp' is also a valid command and will cause entirely different
results. <br><br><br><br>This will checkout a new copy into <destination dir>. So if you
are in your home folder and type 'checkout cse491' it will make a
folder and put trunk, hw1, ... hw8 in the cse491 folder. (assuming your repository is set up with trunk, hw1, ... hw8 in the root directory) This is
probably what you want to do.<br><br><b>alias checkout 'svn checkout <a href="http://class.ged.idyll.org/svn/nermal/">http://class.ged.idyll.org/svn/nermal/</a> \!*'</b><br>Usage: checkout <destination dir><br>
Example: checkout cse491<br><br><br><br>This one is just me being lazy. feel free to skip it.<br><br>alias commit 'svn commit -m \!*'<br>Usage: commit "<your comment here>"<br><br><br><br><br>
