When we are developing a software with the collaboration of several members we need a way of sharing the code files, software versioning and revision control. We can use a Subversion system for this. SVN is one. See more information about svn here.
We can get a free host to host our files. Assembla is one which gives free services as well as paid ones.
So now we need a client software to work with an SVN. One popular software is TortoiseSVN. It’s a great software that can be used very easily.
If you are using Eclipse as your development IDE it is easy to work with an SVN. We need to install Subversion to the eclipse IDE.
Let’s get it installed.
( The screenshots below are taken using the “Eclipse for PHP Developers” Version: Helios Service Release 1)
First go to Help>>Install New Software
Go to Help>>Install New Software
In the window you see next Click “Add” for in the right top corner.
You’ll get a window to Add a Repository. There add http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.6.x as the Location and press OK.
Add a Repository
After a while you will be provided with a list. Check them as shown below and press next.
Select
It will now take some time and show you a list of items to be installed. Press next and it will download the necessary files and install.
List
You’ll need to restart Eclipse after installation.
