Linux command line client

  1. Verify that subversion is in your PATH, by typing: 
    which svn
    You should see the following: 
    /usr/bin/svn
  2. Obtain a kerberos ticket with the command: 
    kinit
  3. You may have to set a subversion editor 
    export SVN_EDITOR=vi   (There is an underscore between SVN and EDITOR)
  4. Perform the subversion command they desire. For instance to checkout a project from the repository: 
    svn checkout svn+ssh://svn.mit.edu/<repository name>/<project name>/trunk
  • Notes:
    • If you checkout only secure/cgi-bin from the command line interface, only the cgi-bin directory will get created in your workspace
