Getting Started

Installation (2.0+)

• Download AnkhSVN from one of the above download links.
• Run the AnkhSVN installer package (It automatically updates any previous versions)

Start using AnkhSVN from Visual Studio

Using an existing solution with AnkhSVN 2.X

• Open your solution
• If you are the first AnkhSVN 2.X user of this solution
• • If glyphs do not appear automatically choose Tools -> Options -> Source Control and make sure AnkhSVN is the active source control provider.
• Verify if the solution is connected to AnkhSVN
• • Right click the solution file. If you have an option that says 'Add to Subversion', your Solution is not connected yet
  • Click Add to Subversion and confirm adding the binding
  • If your project is not in an existing workingcopy you are now asked where to store your project
• If some of the projects do not show glyphs
• • Check if the projects are connected in File -> Subversion -> Change Source Control
  • Make sure that at least the Solution and the projects missing glyphs are connected
    (Many project types do not require explicit binding)

Check out a Solution from Subversion

Using Open from Subversion

• Select File -> Open -> Subversion Project
• Choose a Url from the dropdown or click the globe icon to add a url
• Browse to the solution of your choice
• Click OK
• In the next dialog select a local folder to store the project
• Click OK and the solution will open automatically

Via the Repository Explorer 

• Select View -> Repository Explorer.
• When the tool window appears, choose the Plus-Folder icon to add your repository path and click OK.
• Browse to the solution you would like to check out, right-click and choose Checkout Folder.
• Browse to the location where you keep your working copy and press OK (you may need to create a directory first).
• Open the solution inside Visual Studio. You will be asked whether to enable AnkhSVN for this solution, choose Yes.

Starting a new repository

• Create a Subversion repository either by using the SVN command line tools or TortoiseSVN. The command line syntax is:
• svnadmin create C:\myrepos
• Open the solution you wish to check-in.
• Choose View -> Solution Explorer from the Visual Studio menu.
• From the right click menu select Ankh -> Add solution to Subversion repository.
• Add the URL to your Subversion repository, in this example it is "file:///c:/myrepos." Note that you may want to check the box to create a new directory if you want to "import" something directly into an existing directory (specified by the URL) or a new subdirectory.
• Once complete, you should now see green check-marks alongside items in the Solution Explorer window.
