1. Create a repository:

svnadmin create /svn/foo/mydirname

1. Want to version control /home/user/mydirname:

cd /home/user/mydirname

1. This only creates the “.svn” folder for version control:

svn co file:///svn/foo/mydirname .

1. Tell svn you want to version control all files in this directory:

svn add ./*

1. Check the files in:

svn ci

1. Check file in with comment:

svn ci -m "your_comment"

1. Checkout project

cd /home/user/projectx
svn checkout file:///svnrepo/projectx .

1. Show only the last 4 log entries (need to “svn update” first in working copy directory)

svn update
svn log --limit 4
svn log -l 4

1. Add all files:

svn add --force path/to/dir
svn add --force .

1. Checkout specified revision (1234 = some resivion number)

svn checkout svn://somepath@1234 working-directory
svn checkout -r 1234 url://repository/path
svn checkout -r 10 https://101.101.101.101/svn/SomeRepo

1. Ignore a directory:

svn propset svn:ignore dirname .

1. Ignore a directory if already checkin using file.txt:

svn rm --keep-local dirname
svn propset svn:ignore -F file.txt .

1. Specify a file that contains a list of file name patterns to ignore. Also, use the -R (or –recursive) flag to specify that the command should be applied recursively:

.svnignore (like .gitignore):

bin gen proguard .classpath .project local.properties Thumbs.db *.apk *.ap_ *.class *.dex
svn propset svn:ignore -R -F .svnignore .
