I've created a svn repository on a linux computer. For this repository I've also created a working copy named myfirstproject. In order to get the URL of it I've typed in "svn info". The answer was
"svn://localhost/myfirstproject".
Now I want to approach this working copy from windows computer. I've tried doing it via netbeans for the first time and tortoiseSVN as well. I've tried to approach svn://my_server_domainName/myfirstproject, but it was failed.
what should I suppose to do? Is there any other URL address I need to type?
Thank you

So I'm trying to do something probably pretty simple but can't figure it out of course. I have a VM on my network running CentOS and I installed Git using the guide. Now I'm on my Windows PC using Pycharm trying to setup Git but the setup asks for where the git.exe file is and can't seem to navigate to my CentOS VM within pycharm to point it anywhere. I tried \IP Address but that didn't work. Is there somewhere on the Linux vm I need to do to allow the windows Pycharm to reach it? I'm new to this on both sides lol.
If I understand your question correctly, you want to access a Git-Repository in your local Linux network. In that case you need to be able to access these files with your Windows machine in order to push/fetch your changes from/to it. A simple way to do it, could be set up file sharing as explained here link and then clone and handle it as any local Git-Repository (see e.g. link - with local Repos the file path is used instead of the URL).
An even simpler way could be to create a hosted online Git-Repository (e.g. on Github) even if you are a sole contributor, maybe make it a private one, if you don't want to make the contents public.
I'm working in a environment where files are at Windows side (because I like to work with phpStorm from that side) and Linux side (because I've a Virtual Machine running CentOS 6.6 and there is where LAMP environment is). The phpStorm project is a remote files one. This are the steps I followed to create the project:
Clone the repo at Windows directory
Copy the files to Linux using WinSCP
Create the remote project using phpStorm and this step copy the whole files from Linux to Windows.
I'm using SmartGit to manage my repos and do GIT/SVN tasks (the easy way). But surprise, files hasn't been changed but SmartGit says it does, but waits? How is that possible if the only steps I did was the one described above? Even if you try to open a file SmartGit will said that the content is the same? So, how to avoid this behavior? How to not to commit the whole files? If I made a commit already, how do I dismiss it? Is not the first time I'm running this problem but before repos was mine and I can lose every but now is a serious project and I take care for not damage others work. Any advice? Help? What you can do in this case?

There you can see what I'm talking about.
I was thinking to use dropbox to upload my source code of a web-application. For this folder i would create a shared link. This link i like to use to download all the latest source files on my test server (instead of using s/FTP).
Now i know you can use dropbox with linux by installing their version, but it requires to create account. I don't want to use a account, and for sure don't want to use my own account.
Is there anyway to use a shared (folder) link, and download all the files in that folder command-line, without a account (maybe something like wget) ? There is no need for live-syncing, it would be fine to trigger the download with some bash script.
Thanks.
If you're ok with your links being public (which i think is not a good idea) , then you can just create a file with a list of links to your files and then create a bash script to loop over each line of the file get the link with wget
If you want to use authentication, you'll have to register for a Dropbox API key and then create a script (in python,ruby or java etc) to authenticate and get the files.
If you don't have a specific need for dropbox, i'll recommend you use git (or similar). With git you'll just have to create the repository on your server and clone it on your desktop. Then you can just edit your files and push it to the server.... it's so much easier.
Rogier, github has become the norm for hosting code. There are other options (Sourceforge, Google Code, Beanstalk) or you can set up a private git repository on your own computer.
Somewhere deep in my browser history there's an article about how to do that.
However a little googling turned up http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1652414. Let me know if you can't find some satisfactory instructions on your own of how to set up a git repo on your computer.
I have recently installed Tortoise SVN on Windows and have two computers, A and B. On both machines I installed TortoiseSVN and they are connected Via LAN and I have my repository saved in computer A. I want to access/checkout the repository in Computer A from Computer B, so i tried this URL in the repository to SVNcheckout from Computer B,
http://192.168.2.6/Repository
but i got a error message as,
repository moved permanently to 'http://192.168.2.6/Repository'; please relocate
tried some other URL's as well like,
http://192.168.2.6/C:/wamp/www/Repository/
http://192.168.2.6///C:/wamp/www/Repository/
file:///192.168.2.6///C:/wamp/www/Repository/
but got error messages as,
access to 'http://192.168.2.6/C:/wamp/www/Repository/'; forbidden
What am I missing ?
Got the solution myself, I didnt actually have a SVN server installed, with which i could retrieve the repository through a specific URL from other computer. I installed VisualSvn and that solved the problem..
It is able to do that on LAN.
1. Remember to share the folder you use as repository
2. On pc B, select SVN checkout..., click the browse button, locate to that shared folder.
And it's done.
How do I download a ZIP file of an entire project from Google Code when there are no prepared downloads available?
This is what I see on the checkout page:
Command-line access
Use this command to anonymously check out the latest project source code:
svn checkout http://myproject.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ myproject-read-only
But I'm working on Windows and I don't have the svn binaries ... do I need these?
I can access individual source code file or view the Subversion HTML pages, but that just allows me to access source code files one-by-one.
If you don't want to install anything but do want to download an SVN or GIT repository, then you can use this: http://downloadsvn.codeplex.com/
I have nothing to do with this project, but I just used it now and it saved me a few minutes. Maybe it will help someone.
If you install TortoiseSVN you can use SVN under windows. It also gives you the SVN binaries. You needn't do the checkout from the command-line though as it integrates into Windows Explorer for you.
If you don't want to install TortoiseSVN, you can simply install 'Subversion for Windows' from here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32svn/
After installing, just open up a command prompt, go the folder you want to download into, then past in the checkout command as indicated on the project's 'source' page. E.g.
svn checkout http://projectname.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ projectname-read-only
Note the space between the URL and the last string is intentional, the last string is the folder name into which the source will be downloaded.
Thanks Mr. Tom Chantler
adding that to get the exe http://downloadsvn.codeplex.com/ to pull the SVN source
just note that suppose you're downloading the below project:
you have to enter exactly the following to donwload it in the exe URL:
http://myproject.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
developer not taking care of appending the h t t p : / / if it does not exist.
Hope it saves somebody's time.
Another simple solution without the TortoiseSVN overhead is RapidSVN. It is a lightweight open-source SVN client that is easy to install and easy to use.
The Download SVN tool did also work quite well, but it had problems with SVN repositories that don't provide a web interface. RapidSVN works fine with those.
If you have a github account and don't want to download software, you can export to github, then download a zip from github.
