  • Pragmatic Guide to Subversion
    Download from Wow! eBook <www.wowebook.com> What Readers Are Saying About Pragmatic Guide to Subversion Mike has been around the block with Subversion and knows the toolset intimately. Just as importantly, he’s seen firsthand how it’s used on real projects. Those two aspects come together in this book with the fundamen- tals of source control with Subversion, guided by real-world, pragmatic (of course!) experience. As a Subversion user and occasional noob, this is the book I want to guide me day to day and dig me out of those irksome holes. Jim W e b b e r Author, REST in Practice I really like the organization of the book. I found Pragmatic Guide to Sub- version to be v e r y easy to read, and it really gets the information across in an engaging way. This book is clear, concise, and comprehensive. It’s an indispensable reference for anyone working with Subversion. Ian Bourke Independent software developer, UK A good digest of Subversion’s capabilities. The author’s writing style is terse yet conversational, and the book progressed nicely from basic topics to those more advanced. Overall, I think the book is an e x c e l l e n t follow-up to Pragmatic V e r s i o n Control Using Subversion. Graham Nash Retlang, Message-based concurrency in .NET This is a book worth having since the “full” Pragmatic Subversion book is too big for e v e r y developer on a team to read. I was a fan of Mike’s original Subversion book, and he’s carried on the style into this pocket reference.

  • Version Control Tutorial Using Tortoisesvn and Tortoisegit
    Version Control Tutorial using TortoiseSVN and TortoiseGit Christopher J. Roy, Professor Virginia Tech, [email protected] This tutorial can be found at: https://www.aoe.vt.edu/content/dam/aoe_vt_edu/people/faculty/cjroy/Software- Resources/tortoise-svn-git-tutorial.pdf Software engineering is critical for accurate and reliable simulation codes in scientific computing. However, most scientists and engineers receive little or no formal training in software engineering. Configuration management is an important component of software engineering which deals with the control and management of software products. The key aspects include using version (or revision) control for source code and other software artifacts, recording and tracking issues with the software, and ensuring backups are made. This tutorial will focus on the first of these: software version control. While most software engineering practices are critical only for large software development efforts, every software project, regardless of how large or small, should use a version control system for the source code. Version Control Version control tracks changes to source code or any other files. A good version control system can tell you what was changed, who changed it, and when it was changed. 1 It allows a software developer to undo any changes to the code, going back to any prior version, release, or date. This can be particularly helpful when a researcher is trying to reproduce results from an earlier paper or report and merely requires documentation of the version number. Version control also provides a mechanism for incorporating changes from multiple developers, an essential feature for large software projects or any projects with geographically remote developers.

  • Version Control of LATEX Documents with Svn-Multi
    The PracTEX Journal, 2007, No. 3 Article revision 2007/08/07 Version Control of LATEX Documents with svn-multi Martin Scharrer Email [email protected] Website http://www.scharrer-online.de/latex/ Abstract This paper describes how to use the software Subversion to version control your LATEX files while also placing the current revision information in your document using the package svn-multi (v1.3 or later). It covers all steps needed to setup and use Subversion, and to manage multi-file documents. Usage examples are provided to show the basic and advanced features to allow the reader to get the most out of the package. 1 Introduction to Version Control Most people working with source code, whether it is a software programming language, markup languages like HTML/XML or in our case LATEX, face the problem on how to organise their code when it spans over an increasing number of files. Backups should be created in order to roll back changes and to rescue lost data. Nontrivial changes should be logged and important revisions should be marked so they can be found at a later stage. Also when multiple people work on the same source code simultaneously their changes must be synchronized to ensure that their changes are not overwritten unintentionally. This is the point where a Version Control software should be used. Version Control (VC), which is also called Revision or Source Control, manages your files, directories, and the changes made to them. For this all created revisions are stored in a repository which can be envisaged as a special kind of database.
