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:
- Choose Team > (Subversion >) Checkout from the main menu. The
Subversion Checkout wizard opens.
- In the first panel of the wizard, enter a URL that contains the connection
protocol and the location of the repository.
- If you enter a protocol such as http://, https://,
or svn://, User and Password fields appear in the wizard.
Fill in these fields as necessary.
- If you enter svn+ssh://, you must supply the command to
establish the external tunnel.
- If you are using a proxy, click the Proxy Configuration button
and enter the required information.
Click Next.
- 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.
- To checkout only the contents of the folder you are specifying
(i.e. and not the folder itself), select the Skip
"<selected_folder>" and checkout only
its content option.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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).
- Select the Scan for NetBeans projects after Checkout option if you intend
to immediately work with the checked-out sources. If the sources contain
projects, a dialog will appear prompting you to open them in the IDE. If
the sources do not contain a project, the dialog will appear prompting you
to create a new project from the sources and then open them in the IDE.
When you create a new project for such sources, select the appropriate
project category and then use the "With Existing Sources"
template in that category.
