Can anyone tell me more about how I can use subversion in my web development?

1 Answer

Answer :

Get it from http://subversion.tigris.org/ if Apple does not provide it. It is like CVS but better. My experience is with CVS. See Wikipedia for an intro. Set up a repository, add all your ‘source’ files such as html’s and css’s, and don’t forget config files such as httpd.conf. When you have changed a source file(s) do an update. I do it all from the command line but GUI clients are available. cheers—Rick leirtech.com
