Checking Out Files From a Remote Repository (Subversion)

See Also

In order to work on shared files located in a remote repository, you need to copy the necessary files and directories to your local working directory. This is done by checking out the files from the repository.

To check out files from a remote repository:

  1. Choose Team > (Subversion >) Checkout from the main menu. The Subversion Checkout wizard opens.
  2. In the first panel of the wizard, enter a URL that contains the connection protocol and the location of the repository. Click Next.
  3. In the Folders to Checkout panel of the wizard, specify the folder that you want to check out in the Repository Folder(s) field or click the Browse button to choose from a list of all folders in the repository.
  4. If you need to specify a revision number, enter the information in the Repository Revision field or click the Browse button to view and select from a list of all revisions in the repository.
  5. Specify the local folder into which you want to check out the selected folders. Alternately, you can click the Browse button to navigate to the desired directory on your system.
  6. Click Finish to check out the files. The IDE initiates the checkout action and the IDE's status bar indicates the progress of the files downloading from the repository to your local working directory. You can also view files being checked out from the Output window (Ctrl-4).
