Here, two programmers are collaborating on a sandwich recipe. One programmer makes a sandwich folder and a subversion (SVN) repository. In step 3 he enters his recipe then he imports that source file into the repository.
mkdir sandwich
svnadmin create sandwichrepo
copy con sandwich\recipe.txt
2 slices oat bread
honey dijon mustard
smoked turkey
lettuce
tomato
F6
1 file(s) copied.
svn import sandwich file:///c:/sandwichrepo/sandwichproject -m "inital import"
svn list file:///c:/sandwichrepo/sandwichproject
Now, simulate another programmer by creating a folder for his work. This programmer checks out the sandwich project which creates a folder named sandwichproject. He modifies the text of the recipe using Notepad then verifies his differences and commits his changes.
mkdir otherprogrammer
cd otherprogrammer
svn co file:///c:/sandwichrepo/sandwichproject
cd sandwichproject
notepad recipe.txt <>
svn status -u
M 1 recipe.txt
svn diff recipe.txt
