I want to configure SVN on my computer.
For that how would I create a repository?
How to give all the paths needed?
I am using Mac os 10.7.3 Lion and Xcode 4.2.
To setup your Subversion repository in XCode 4, go to File → Source Control → Manage Repositories. Once there, you will see an option to add a repository:
After selecting Add Repository option, you will need to enter your Subversion repository URL and the name you wish to add to your repository:
Click next, and on next step you should see an option to setup paths to your folders in your svn repository. There are three folders which are usually created by default when you use svn, and they are called /trunk, /tags, /branches. In case you don't have this folders, you can skip this step, it's optional.
Now you should see in XCode organizer your repository in the sidebar. What we would like to do is add one of our projects to Subversion so we can use version control for the project. We would like to add the project to /trunk folder of our repository. In order to do this, click on the /trunk folder, and then click on the import button.
When you click import, select the folder of files which you would like to import. Then you will be prompted to enter a commit message. After this, click refresh, and you should see the new files added to your repository.
Now your project is under version control, and you should be able to see it in your Beanstalk account, in your repository. All you need to do now is checkout the files to a location of your preference, and open the project from this location.
When you open the project, you will see flags next to all files you modify, add or delete and you will see an option to commit the files.
May this Helping to you
Happy Coding.

Good morning.
I just create a GitLab private repo to work in a project with some people. When I add GitLab repo to Eclipse, it says there aren't projects (and it's true). I would know how to create a project and sync with online repo so other members can see my project and codes.
I tried to start a project in git\repoName\ folder, then right-click and choose Team->Commit, but changes wouldn't save (in gitLab repo's website, it says "Repo is empty").
I tried to follow some online guides, but without success.
Sorry for bad english!
Eclipse 4.2 and newer, comes default with (E)Git installed. There is a good Eclipse git tutorial from Vogella.
Create a GitLab git repository
Log into GitLab
Create a project / git repository
Copy the https url from the project, used for cloning
Adding an GitLab git repository in Eclipse
Open the Git perspective in Eclipse
Use Clone existing Git repo, as shown in Using git repository view
Now all the git functionality from Eclipse can be used.
I assume you have a cloned repository available in Eclipse (eGit) that is empty. If not, follow the steps in the answer from Verhagen.
By now, you have a cloned repository that is marked with "[NO HEAD]", indicating that no commit has been made.
Start creating a new project by using your project type of choice; I'll use Java project for simplicity: File menu > New > Java project
in the New Java Project wizard un-tick the "Use default Workspace location" checkbox; instead, choose the directory where you cloned your empty GitLab project, and append the name of the project (this is to make Eclipse create a directory inside the repository, just in case you later want to create more projects in the same repo).
Fill in the wizard as you usually do. When you are done with the different steps, you'll have a new project, that is also marked with "[NO HEAD]"
Create some source files you want to share (e.g. HelloWorld.java)
Synchronize workspace (right click on the new project > Team > Synchronize workspace) you will see that now there are files to commit. Pay attention to those files, since some of them ( .gitignore, and maybe .classpath, .project,.settings directory... depending on how you share your projects) you'll want to add to the .gitignore.
right click on the files you want to commit, fill in the commit message and click "Commit and Push". Click Next
Since it is a new repository, you'll have to configure the Push action. I selected HEAD as source and HEAD as destination. You might want to do the same, at least for this first commit+push; later on, you might choose to add some specs for branches, etc.
The Push Confirmation will show you that the new branch master:master will be created.
Both project and repository lost the "[NO HEAD]" marking
You can check gitlab site to confirm your files are there.
I'm completely new to subversion and I'm unsure how to add and commit a Java Project to an online repository using svn. The goal is to move the important folders in the project including the src, package, and class. I've accessed the online repo and I (assume) I have it as a working copy. When I try to svn add the local project folders however, I am told it is not a working copy. How do I fix this? Is there a way I can make my workspace be the online repo directly? Or do I just copy the folder somehow? I'm using Cygwin and Eclipse.
To add your project to svn you can do it this way:
Right click on your project and select: Team / Share Project...
Select SVN
Select Use Existing Repository Location
Browse to the location you would like your project to reside: typically .../trunk
Click OK and finish
This should have committed your project to SVN. Regarding your question about your entire workspace being the online repo. with each of your individual projects connected to SVN just like I detailed above, you will be able to commit and update your local projects into and from SVN without any issues.
I have developed a part of application now I want to add my project to SVN repository for that
i did
File->Source Control->Repositories
Add Repositories
Added repository sccessfully, but when in project root I right clicked to add project to repository it showed all disable option of source control.
How can I add my project to SVN repository, please help
while repository is added
Would you not just place all of your files into your trunk manually and open the project from there, and then set up your repository in Organiser. The files would all already be there, and then you can right click on the file you have changed and commit it from there.
I also like to use public repositories such as Google Code to store my repositories, which is especially helpful in case of data issues when working with lots of people on the one SVN project.
I'm a little confused about how EGit workes.
I have an existing git repository on Github and want to clone it into my workspace.
My goal is to have the local repository directly stored inside my workspace-folder but I don't get it working with EGit.
When I want to clone the github repo with EGit, I have to choose a directory as destination. The suggested directory is in my homedir (not in my workspace). When I choose this directory I can see the project in Eclipse but it is not stored in my workspace-folder. Instead it is stored in my home dir.
When I choose a directory directly inside my workspace, later when it comes to import the project it says that there is already a directory with this name.
I don't know how to solve this. I thought this would be a common scenario. In the past I have used hgEclipse (Mercurial) and it was working exactly the way I thought it should be so I'm confused EGit doesn't. Maybe I misunderstood something.
Probably this is important to know: In the github repository there are no .project or .settings files from eclipse. I have them on my .gitignore and so in the import-dialog I have to choose "Import as General Project" and not "Import Existing Projects". But I think this shouldn't matter?
I hope someone can help me or explain me why the EGit plugin doesn't clone the repository directly into the workspace by default.
My Eclipseversion is 3.6, I have installed EGit over the markedplace.
As mentioned in this EGit tutorial, the destination directory you mention when importing (cloning) a Git repo is any directory you want, in which the .git will be created:
You don't have to select the workspace itself (at least, you should select the workspace/myproject subdirectory, in order to not make the all Eclipse workspace a Git repo.
And you can select any other directory outside the workspace: the Eclipse workspace should only contain meta-data about Eclipse projects and settings.
When declaring a new project, you will be able to select the project directory, making that directory the parent for .classpath and .project.
Your workspace will list that new project, even though it lives outside the workspace.
To import a project from GitHub you should use the Import Git Repository as New Project dialogue (right click -> Import -> Git -> Git Repository as New Project). This way you can select the destination of the clone repository, including the Workspace.
If you want to edit the sources in the IDE and also want the changes to be reflected in the Git repository, delete the original source file in the project and link the source file in the git repo to the project. That way, you can directly make changes to the git repo and you can commit them when needed. Be careful not to delete the files when deleting the project in the IDE though.
Steps to have git project in workspace (with egit):
On GIT perspective choose "Clone a Git Repository and add it to this view"
As a destination choose folder inside a workspace (for example ".../workspace/myproject")
Wait until cloned
File -> New -> Project
General -> project
As a project name type name of a folder in workspace where project has been cloned (for example "myproject")
Nope. There's no way to get this to work. You can't use egit to checkout a git project into the workspace and if you check it out elsewhere and try to copy it into the workspace, you will lose your connection to the remote repository. If you want VCS that works, use svn or mercurial.
In the "Configure Local Storage Location" dialog,
choose .../workspace/projectname.
Then in the next dialog,
we get the wizard selection menu. Normally you should select "Import existing project".
(But see below).
Finally, there is the "Import Projects" dialog.
For various unexplained reasons, sometimes this dialog is empty and won't
let you finish. In that case, you need to cancel, and then outside of Eclipse completely delete the working directory that was cloned into, and then start again.
But if there is the project there, press finish. If it complains about the project already existing, go back to the wizard menu and change it to use a wizard. Select a Java wizard and then finish. Often this will work, but only if you first got the "Import Projects" menu to recognize the project in the first place.
It may take several attempts to get this to work! But once it is set up, it works fine.
So, in summary: is is possible to get EGit to use the default project location for the git clone, but in my experience it may inexplicably require several attempts.
I have a git repository that is just a directory tree (/myprogram/src/com/mycompany/test) with some source files. I wish to create an eclipse project around this repository. Both orders of create project in eclipse and git clone <url> <myprogram> from the command line give me a "folder already exists" error from whatever tool I use last. I could move the files manually to merge them, but it feels messy and I'm not 100% confident I know which files to touch.
How is this supposed to be done properly?
You could do it by selecting Import -> Existing Projects into Workspace, select the directory containing your project (the parent of myprgram), and check the checkbox next to your project (myprogram).
To have Git support in Eclipse, install eGit and then right-click your project, select Team -> Share Project -> Git, expand the triangle to select the existing repository and click Finish. This should give you Git annotations on your project.
Another option might be to just select Import -> Git -> Git Repository (after eGit is installed) and import your repository (but I've never done that with a local repository). See also the eGit user guide.
To resolve this I just ended up copying the git repository into a newly created project, but upon revisiting the issue I found a link here that suggests something slightly more elegant (but functionally similar).
After creating a new project, use Import -> Filesystem and Select All. In my case, my repository already had a proper /src/com/... directory structure which merged nicely into the one set up by the new eclipse project.
