Introduction to SVN
What is SVN?
Subversion (SVN) is an open source code manager and version control system intended to replace CVS. It is a system that manages files and directories, and the changes made to them over time.
Why use SVN?
SVN is great because
- it remembers all the changes written to it: create, edit, update files/directories
- it saves previous states, not just the current, so we can restore from a given date/version/etc
- prevents concurrence issues like overwriting someone else’s work
