Creating a New Repository 01. Navigate to where you are storing your Subversion repository databases 02. Create a new folder matching the application name 03. Inside the new folder, right click in the whitespace ≫ TortoiseSVN ≫ Create respository here 04. When the dialog appears, click the Create folder structure option, this will create the standard "trunk", "branches" and "tags" directories inside the new repository

Creating a Working Directory 01. Create a folder to contain the working copy of the code, this could be on a development web server 02. Inside the new application folder, right click in the whitespace ≫ SVN Checkout... 03. Input the URL to the repository to work with, this can be either a file:// or http(s):// URL if Apache HTTPD has been setup for Subversion (Video link: ) Examples: file:///E:/SVN_Repos/new_code/trunk https://svn.i12bretro.local/new_code/trunk

Committing Changes to the Repository 01. After completing code changes, right click in the white space of the working directory ≫ SVN Commit... 02. Input meaningful comments about the changes completed 03. Click OK

Importing Existing Code Into Subversion 01. Create the Subversion repository using the steps above 02. Navigate to the folder that contains your code 03.

Input the URL to the repository to work with, this can be either a file:// or http(s):// URL if Apache HTTPD has been setup for Subversion (Video link: ) Examples: file:///E:/SVN_Repos/import_code/trunk http://svn.i12bretro.local/import_code/trunk 05. Input a meaningful comment about the state of the code being imported 06. To convert the current directory into a working directory after successfully importing the code into the repository, simply right click in the whitespace ≫ SVN Checkout... 07. Input the URL to the repository to work with 08. Verify the checkout path, making sure no unwanted sub-directories were added based on the repository URL (for example, I've found that TortoiseSVN will add /trunk to the checkout directory) 09. Click OK 10. A dialog will display stating that the directory selected is not empty ≫ Confirm the target folder path and Click Checkout

Deploying Updates with Subversion Workflow 01. After completing development and testing the code, you'll be ready to deploy it to a production environment 02. Navigate to the folder on the production environment ≫ Right click in the whitespace ≫ SVN Checkout... 03. Input the URL to the repository to work with, this can be either a file:// or http(s) ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rrjK9ASiQg
