SVN management using XCode-


SCM

Presented by:

What is a version?

One of a sequence of copies of a program, each


incorporating new modifications.  Each version is usually
identified by a number, commonly of the form X.Y where X is
the major version number and Y is the release number.
What is version control or SCM?

SCM stands for software configuration management


In software engineering, software configuration
management (SCM) is the task of tracking and controlling
changes in the software. Configuration management
practices include revision control and the establishment of
baselines.
What are the uses of version control?

1. It provides one method for an entire team to use; everybody


operates under the same 'ground rules'.
2. The ability to track changes promotes accountability and makes
it easier to find the right person to solve problems in the
materials maintained.
3. A list of exact changes made can be generated quickly and
easily, making it easier to advise users of the information on how
it has changed from version to version.
4. It is easy to 'roll back' to an earlier version of the information,
if a serious mistake was made during a change.
5. Regulates multiple users wanting to change the same file
What is SVN?

• Stands for Subversion. 


• Version control system that is used. 
• It is open source and free software.
What do you  need to use SVN?

1. SVN Server - A server where you can host your repository. eg:-
projectlocker or create a local repository

2. SVN client - on each users system. GUI based SVN clients are
the best eg:- xcode
 
Other SVN clients available in the market:
Windows - Tortoise SVN
Mac - Versions, SmartSVN, svnX
SVN Folder Structure
Trunk: The trunk is the main line of development in a SVN
repository.
 
Branch: A branch is a side-line of development created to make
larger, experimental or disrupting work without annoying users of the
trunk version. Also, branches can be used to create development
lines for multiple versions of the same product, like having a place to
backport bugfixes into a stable release.
 
Tags: Finally, tags are markers to highlight notable revisions in the
history of the repository, usually things like "this was released as
1.0".
How to create a local repository on your system?

Open the terminal and navigate to the desired path


eg:- /Users/Shared/subversion

Type 'svnadmin create <Repository Name>'


eg:- svnadmin create SampleRepository

onto a local computer. 
 
Commit: Send changes from your working copy to the repository
 
Update: Get latest changes in the repository into your local system

SVN Terms
Delete: Items specified are scheduled for deletion upon the next
commit. Files (and directories that have not been committed) are
immediately removed from the working copy. 
 
Note: Do not use this command unless it is really needed. Be very
careful while using this command on a live project repository

Diff: Shows the differences between two version of a file

Revert: Undo all local edits

Resolve: Resolve “conflicted” state on working copy files or


directories.

 
 
Things to remember

• Do not experiment with a live project repository under any


circumstances. Create a local repository for experimental
purposes.
•  Always change the password of ProjectLocker after the
first login.
• When adding new files to your project always remember
to do a project commit. For file modifications however, it
is sufficient to commit only the specific files.
