Team Collaboration Using Subversion (SVN)
- Team Setup

Once a project has been set up within the repository, the steps for introducing each additional team member are very simple:

  1. Checkout the project
  2. Open the project

1. Checkout the project

Using your SVN Client, select the folder in which you want to add the project and perform an SVN Checkout operation.

If you're using TortoiseSVN, from the parent folder of your project in Windows Explorer, use the "SVN Checkout..." context menu command:

Creating a working copy of project files

Once you've verified that the URL and Checkout directory are correct, hit "OK" and your working copy will be created:

Project checkout completion

Note: To help with cross-project referencing, it is a good idea for all team members to check out their working copies into the same local folder that everyone agrees on. In the example shown above, this user did not do that since the original project files were at a different location ("C:\GUI Designs\Samples\Web Real Estate\"). Fortunately, this is a self-contained project so it doesn't matter but this is something to watch out for.

2. Open the project

You can now open the project in GUI Design Studio. The Project tree should show that all of the files and folders are under Subversion control:
