          <h2>Install&nbsp;TortoiseSVN</h2>

<ol>
	<li>Download TortoiseSVN <a href="https://tortoisesvn.net/downloads.html" target="_blank">Download</a></li>
	<li>Install TortoiseSVN</li>
</ol>

<h2>Creating a New Repository</h2>

<ol>
	<li>Navigate to where you are storing your Subversion repository databases</li>
	<li>Create a new folder matching the application name</li>
	<li>Inside the new folder, right click in the whitespace &gt; TortoiseSVN &gt; Create respository here</li>
	<li>When the dialog appears, click the Create folder structure option, this will create the standard &quot;trunk&quot;, &quot;branches&quot; and &quot;tags&quot; directories inside the new repository</li>
</ol>

<h2>Creating a Working Directory</h2>

<ol>
	<li>Create a folder to contain the working copy of the code, this could be on a development web server</li>
	<li>Inside the new application folder, right click in the whitespace &gt; SVN Checkout...</li>
	<li>Input the URL&nbsp;to the repository to work with, this can be either a file:// or http(s)://&nbsp;URL if Apache HTTPD has been setup for Subversion (Video link: )<br />
	Examples:<br />
	file:///E:/SVN_Repos/new_code/trunk<br />
	https://svn.i12bretro.local/new_code/trunk</li>
</ol>

<h2>Committing Changes to the Repository</h2>

<ol>
	<li>After completing code changes, right click in the white space of the working directory &gt; SVN Commit...</li>
	<li>Input <u>meaningful comments</u> about the changes completed</li>
	<li>Click OK</li>
</ol>

<h2>Importing Existing Code Into Subversion</h2>

<ol>
	<li>Create the Subversion repository using the steps above</li>
	<li>Navigate to the folder that contains your code</li>
	<li>Right click in the whitespace &gt; TortoiseSVN &gt; Import...</li>
	<li>Input the URL&nbsp;to the repository to work with, this can be either a file:// or http(s)://&nbsp;URL if Apache HTTPD has been setup for Subversion (Video link: )<br />
	Examples:<br />
	file:///E:/SVN_Repos/import_code/trunk<br />
	http://svn.i12bretro.local/import_code/trunk</li>
	<li>Input a meaningful comment&nbsp;about the state of the code being imported</li>
	<li>To convert the current directory into a working directory after successfully importing the code into the repository, simply&nbsp;right click in the whitespace &gt; SVN Checkout...</li>
	<li>Input the&nbsp;URL&nbsp;to the repository to work with</li>
	<li>Verify the checkout path, making sure no unwanted sub-directories were added based on the repository URL (for example, I&#39;ve found that TortoiseSVN will add /trunk to the checkout directory)</li>
	<li>Click OK</li>
	<li>A dialog will display stating that the directory selected is not empty &gt; Confirm the target folder path and Click Checkout</li>
</ol>

<h2>Deploying Updates with Subversion Workflow</h2>

<ol>
	<li>After completing development and testing the code, you&#39;ll be ready to deploy it to a production environment</li>
	<li>Navigate to the folder on the production environment &gt; Right click in the whitespace &gt; SVN Checkout...</li>
	<li>Input the URL&nbsp;to the repository to work with, this can be either a file:// or http(s)://&nbsp;URL if Apache HTTPD has been setup for Subversion<br />
	Examples:<br />
	file:///E:/SVN_Repos/import_code/trunk<br />
	https://svn.i12bretro.local/import_code/trunk</li>
	<li>After the checkout completes the production directory will contain an exact copy of code in&nbsp;/trunk of the repository</li>
</ol>

<h2>Relocating Subversion Repository</h2>

<p>This is useful if the location (file path or URL) of the repository has changed but the repository remains the same. For example, migrating to a new server or from file paths to Apache HTTPD based URLs</p>

<ol>
	<li>Navigate to the working directory in Windows Explorer</li>
	<li>Right click in the white space&nbsp;&gt; TortoiseSVN &gt; Relocate...</li>
	<li>Input the URL&nbsp;to the new location of the matching repository<br />
	Examples:<br />
	file:///E:/SVN_Repos/import_code/trunk<br />
	https://svn.i12bretro.local/import_code/trunk</li>
	<li>A dialog stating the relocate succeeded should be displayed</li>
	<li>Right click in the white space &gt; TortoiseSVN &gt; Repo-browser</li>
	<li>The new updated URL should be displayed</li>
</ol>

<h2>Tagging Releases</h2>

<p>Once development and testing are completed for a version of the code, you can create a tag in Subversion. This is a snapshot of the code set and can we used to roll back to the exact version in the future if needed</p>

<ol>
	<li>Right click in the whitespace anywhere in Windows</li>
	<li>Select TortoiseSVN &gt; Repo-browser</li>
	<li>Input the URL to the repository to work with</li>
	<li>Right click on the trunk folder in the left navigation pane &gt; Copy to...</li>
	<li>Input the URL to the new tag to create, for example&nbsp;http://svn.i12bretro.local/code_repo/tags/1.0</li>
	<li>Click OK</li>
	<li>Input a comment such as &quot;Creating v1.0 tag&quot; &gt; Click OK</li>
	<li>In the Repo browser, expand the tags directory to see the newly created tag</li>
	<li>To revert back to this version of the code, just use the tag URL when checking out into a working directory, for example&nbsp;http://svn.i12bretro.local/code_repo/tags/1.0</li>
</ol>

<h2>Include a directory in the repository, but ignore its contents</h2>

<p>This scenario is useful for a directory that is required by the application but where the contents is unique to the deployment. For example, an upload, temp, log or attachment directory.</p>

<ol>
	<li>Right click on the directory &gt; TortoiseSVN &gt; Properties</li>
	<li>Click the New... button &gt; Other</li>
	<li>Select svn:ignore from the Property name dropdown</li>
	<li>Type * in the Property value field</li>
	<li>Click OK</li>
	<li>Right click in the white space &gt; SVN Commit...</li>
	<li>Type a meaningful comment denoting the change</li>
	<li>Click OK</li>
</ol>
