=Common Commands=
 
 
 
To get what used to be CVS HEAD, you will need to get the svn TRUNK:
 
 
 
    svn checkout <nowiki>http://svn.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash/trunk</nowiki> gnucash
 
 
 
The argument "gnucash" above can be whatever you want your local directory to be called, and is optional. If you leave it out, you'll have a directory called "trunk" created containing all the source code.
 
 
 
If you want the latest 2.0.x code, you'd need to pull from the 2.0 branch, as follows:
 
 
 
    svn checkout <nowiki>http://svn.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash/branches/2.0</nowiki> gnucash-2.0
 
 
 
And if you want the released code for a specific release (or tag), you'd use:
 
 
 
    svn checkout <nowiki>http://svn.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash/tags/1.8.12</nowiki> gnucash-1.8.12
 
 
 
And to update, just cd into the directory containing the sources you want updated and execute a simple
 
 
 
    svn update
 
 
 
To switch a TRUNK working copy to the 2.0 branch, cd into the directory containing the sources you want updated and do this:
 
 
 
    svn switch <nowiki>http://svn.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash/branches/2.0</nowiki>
 
 
 
You probably want to continue reading at the [[Building]] page. Otherwise, continue on below for information on how to use subversion.
 
 
 
= SVN tutorial =
 
 
 
Now that the gnucash repository is using svn for version control (since 2005-11-04), the need for a quick tutorial on how to get the sources might be in order. There was some introduction about SVN in an [http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2005-October/014333.html e-mail] on gnucash-devel:
 
 
 
The excellent "[http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ Version Control with Subversion] is a very good resource for information about subversion. 
 
 
 
Specifically, [http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch03.html Chapter 3. Guided Tour]
 
and [http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/apa.html Appendix A. Subversion for CVS Users] are relevant.
 
 
 
The command-line client `<tt>svn</tt>` has a nice integrated help system; `<tt>svn help</tt>`
 
will provide the top-level command list, and `<tt>svn help <command></tt>` detailed
 
help for the specific command.
 
 
 
The bottom line is that getting the source via svn isn't altogether different from getting it using cvs.

=SVN write access=
 
 
 
FAQ: Is it possible to get SVN write access?
 
 
 
A: In principle yes, but we are quite conservative with giving out new SVN write accounts. For occasional changes people are encouraged to submit patches. We do add people as developers if they stick around, supply lots of patches, become highly involved in the project, hang out on IRC, and generally show some level of clue and prove some level of trust. But in the meantime, patches in email are the suggested route, as has been stated at other places. --[[User:Cstim|Cstim]] 08:00, 8 January 2006 (EST)
