svn clients

[yemista]

What is a good svn client for gnome? I just started using svn under linux, but dont know what the easiest client might be. I am used to Tortoise svn. Any suggestions?

Hey I have an idea!

$ apropos svn

Good luck.

You know, I am well aware there are many different svn clients out there, and I downloaded and tried compiling about 6-7 of them last night. What I was wondering was what other people use and what they prefer.

svn on the command line in Windows and Linux. There's nothing else that can give me the power I need.

I agree with pcmattman - having a GUI between me and my repository makes me feel nervous.

But as you're a Tortoise user gone GNOME, you'll probably like NautilusSVN.

You guys sold me on the power. I guess its best I sit there and learn the svn cli

My favorite svn client is git, personally.

Hey you attempted humour! good for you!

The point I was trying to make is that the best SVN client is the official one, all the others are just boring front ends.

Once that's installed, you can use apropos(1) to find and read the relevant man pages.. and consider bookmarking the following website as well.

Good luck..

well to be honest with you, i guess i havnt been asking good questions because i dont even really know what svn is, and wasnt sure what i was talking about, and I actually did look for tutorials before I asked, but they didnt quite enlighten me on the nature of svn. Thank you for the link, I will read up on it.

I think that was not humour. Git can use a svn repository.

sudo apt-get install subversion

ftw!

I just stick with the CL when it comes to source management. I agree with pcmattman/Solar on the nervousness when it comes to using GUIs for this particular task.

Bah.

Code: Select all

What are you using the repo for? If it is code projects why not just use the svn client for you IDE?
