Sometimes a nice simple article covering the basics is just what’s needed. I’ve been ‘intending’ to start using a versioning system since a few hobby projects now. But this article was the exact little push I needed.

Now all I need is for you to write an article about test-driven development..

Thanks for the great article!

Thanks Steve. The great thing about subversion is that once you’ve set up everything, you can keep working on your project as per normal; the only real change one has to implement into a workflow is running commit once in a while.
I have been keeping an eye on your blog and you’ve got some great content. Keep it up!

I’ve been setting up and blogging about subversion and XCode. My set up is very simple: just me and and a local repository. I’m still learning now to use subversion, so everything that you wwrrite is useful.

I started using Subversion midway through a current project of mine, and now I wish I’d started sooner. I didn’t really “grok” it till I read the Pragmatic Programmer’s book on SVN http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/svn/

One of the issues I found when starting to use Subversion midway, is that what looked relatively organised in my Xcode view turned out to be one honking big disorganised directory when you looked at it on disk.

If you’re going to be writing any more on SVN, might I suggest a tutorial on how to structure your Xcode project for better on-disk organisation (which in turn makes things easier to manage in SVN). For example, how to split up your external frameworks from your central code in SVN.

You forgot to mention a big link in subversion land.
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/

The complete and free online version of the O’Reilly Subversion book.

Oh and Google Code, sourceforge.net provide subversion access as well. But better to first fumble around a bit with a local working copy.

svnadmin create testrepo
svn checkout file:///[PATH_TO_REPO]/testrepo

Start experimenting…

XCode works well with local repositories as well. Sure, you don’t have the security of a remote backup. But a local repository is just another path on your disk. Pick it up in your regular backup and you are reasonably safe.

Excellent! I have written not so long ago an entry in my blog with a similar introduction to svn on Mac OS X, but in Spanish; hope it helps!

(in Spanish) En los links aqui arriba hay una introduccion a svn para Mac OS X, similar a la de esta pagina, pero en español, espero que sea util!
