Continue the legacy...

Sorry. There isn't a forum specifically for language/skills improvement so I'm posting here.

SVN Class is Open....but without a teacher.


If any one is interested in learning SVN with me, you are welcome to join in my little sandbox.

I have created a test repository at Googlecode and have started to experiment. Since it is just a test repository we can break it with no worries. The code base currently stored there is the familiar phpBB 2.0.23 in its default, pre-install distribution.

Beyond that, I really have no idea what I'm doing. If experienced SVN gurus would like to drop tips for us now and then, that would be great.

The "project" and repository are at:

http://code.google.com/p/learning-sandbox/


To start playing with it you will need some kind of SVN client for your development environment. If you're using Windows, TortoiseSVN seems to work nicely - although it has a thousand options and parameters that I haven't yet learned.

You'll also need some kind of login. I read that a Gmail account is no longer required at Googlecode but I'm not sure how to add anything but a google account. I can add you as coder to play with checkin/checkout and so forth. If you would also like to tinker with admin functions we can add you in that capacity as well.

A good resource (which I'm still reading) for SVN is here:

Oh, I am "Yobihome" at google.

Merri,

Added you as a project owner. You should be able view and do everything with the sandbox project.

I also applied a simple mod as test and learning experience. Using TortoiseSVN and my preferred editor (UltraEdit), I ran through the checkout, edit, commit. Worked without a hitch.

The version history will show...

rev 1: empty directory structure
rev 2: phpBB 2.0.23 base committed
rev 3: "Disable Version Check" mod applied and committed

Very nice. Still a lot to learn.
