Subversion (version control system)

1. On both server and client, install Subversion:

   sudo apt-get install subversion
   

2. On the server (setting up Subversion to be accessed via SSH):
   1. Make a directory for the repositories to sit:

      mkdir $SVN_DIR 

      Typically, use /home/$USER/svn as $SVN_DIR.
   2. Create a repository:

      svnadmin create $SVN_DIR/$PROJECT 

      where $PROJECT is your project name
   3. Turn off anonymous access:

      nano $SVN_DIR/$PROJECT/conf/svnserve.conf
      

      Add the following lines:

      [general]  #section heading
      anon-access = none # turn off anonymous access
      

   4. (optional) Import existing content to the repository:

      svn import /path/to/original/content/ file://$SVN_DIR/$PROJECT[/deeper]
      

3. On the client:
   1. Initial checkout:

      svn checkout svn+ssh://$SVN_SERVER/$SVN_DIR/$PROJECT[/deeper/]
      

   2. Subsequent updates, commits, etc.:

      svn update/commit/add/remove/rename/revert [filenames]
