I'm fairly new to linux and svn. I'm trying to checkout the trunk folder of a project into my public_html directory using this command (while in public_html):
svn checkout file:///home/landonwinters/svn/waterproject/trunk
The waterproject directory contains the files from untarring a base install of drupal.
It checks out fine, except all the files are in public_html/trunk instead of just being in public_html.
I don't know the command to move all the contents of trunk up to public_html and rm trunk, but I think I could figure that out relatively easily. I just want to know if I can just check out the contents of a folder, without the folder itself.
Just add a . to it:
svn checkout file:///home/landonwinters/svn/waterproject/trunk .
That means: check out to current directory.
svn co svn://path destination
To specify current directory, use a "." for your destination directory:
svn checkout file:///home/landonwinters/svn/waterproject/trunk .
Just add the directory on the command line:
svn checkout svn://192.168.1.1/projectname/ target-directory/
Provide the directory on the command line:
svn checkout file:///home/landonwinters/svn/waterproject/trunk public_html
