Accessing the SVN

Once you've installed and restarted, you'll be able to access any public SVN repository on the internet.

The example below is specific to the yakko SVN.

  • Create a folder to save the code you're about to checkout
  • Right-click and click "SVN Checkout..."
  • Use this as the url (inserting your own username):
svn+ssh://YOURUSERNAME@yakko.cs.wmich.edu:/home/svn/repo
  • Leave the other options, they should be
    • Checkout Depth - "Fully recursive"
    • "Omit externals" - Unchecked
    • Revision - "HEAD revision"

Click OK and you should have your very own copy of the entire yakko SVN repository! Congratulations.
