Setup an SVN Server?

Question

Does anybody know how to setup a basic SVN server on my windows pc? I want to create an SVN repository to store the code for my home projects I\'ve got lined up.

Anyone

Answer 1

Install VisualSVN Server. The server part is free. You can also just use any SVN tool to just create local repositories on your file system if you like. My favorite client side tool is TortoiseSVN.

Answer 2

Use ubersvn for personal use it is working fine and it's freeware.

The program contains all the dependencies needed to set up and run an Apache Subversion server on Windows, Linux or Mac OS X operating systems .Check this here

Answer 4

What is the final veredict? for a single user local repository what would be the best option:

• just create local repositories with TortoiseSVN (simpler and less resource consuming)
• install VisualSVN server to get the extra functionality it offers (for example, the automatic backups are quite interesting..)

The idea of using VisualSVN server in my local machine with the automatic backups stored in a google drive folder in order to keep the repository in case of catastrophe sounds good, but maybe is a bit overkill.. is it heavy the server initialization? the machine is only booted while I am working in my spare time.. if the server takes no negligible time to start every time I turn on the PC maybe the first option is better.

Answer 5

I can strongly recommend VisualSVN. It's very easy to setup, configure and use.

I've installed it recently and have found it utterly pain-free. SVN client-wise, I'd recommend TortoiseSVN. It integrates directly with Explorer and is, again, easy to use.

If you're working with Visual Studio, AnkhSVN is a great client that integrates into VS and doesn't seem to have any problem with being used side-by-side with TortoiseSVN.

Answer 6

If you are the only one accessing the repository all you need is tortoisesvn. You can make a local repository anywhere you want just by right clicking and selecting "Create Repository Here" then just use the file path for the URL.
