Subversion (itch) (Zoo3y) Mac OS

Mac The Basics ZoomText is a powerful computer access solution designed for the visually impaired. Through a combination of magnification and enhancements to colors, pointers and cursors, ZoomText makes using the computer fun and enjoyable, even when you have a visual impairment. Now you will be able to see everything. “a server that has a nice graphical interface” — isn’t everything just a front-end to the command line Subversion program? On Mac OS X, I use svn at the command line to both access svn repositories elsewhere, and create them on my machine. Waite Jan 16 '10 at 16:55.

Question or issue on macOS:

I used to use Visual SVN on Windows. Now I am on Mac OSX.

Does anyone know of an SVN server for MAC OSX which is as easy to use as Visual SVN on Windows? I don’t want to be typing in console commands, I’d like a nice and simple UI 🙂

Cheers

How to solve this problem?

Solution no. 1:

Mac OSX LION and Snow Leopard comes with SVN Server by default. An easy tutorial can be found here

Basically you will be using command line (shell) environment. No GUI tool is available.

To create a repository issue this command

This will create a repository with the above name in the current folder.

The next step is to import a directory. Use this command

The third step would be to checkout what you just checked in.

Solution no. 2:

I know that you want a simple GUI app to install the server, but you can get apache serving your subversion repository with WebDAV authentication really quickly and easily. Using macports to install all the dependencies and with a few basic changes to the configuration options in apache, you are good to go.

Here is the basic setup (from Macports wiki) : MacPorts Subversion with Apache

The command line is your friend!

Solution no. 3:

Another nice stack for a subversion server can be found at http://bitnami.org/stack/subversion. From the description:

BitNami Subversion Stack greatly simplifies the deployment of Subversion and its required dependencies. It can be deployed using a native installer, as a virtual machine or in the cloud.

Solution no. 4:

As an aside, it should be noted that Snow Leopard (at least) comes with an SVN server bundled by default. I believe that Leopard did as well. Either way, you’re far better off just using it instead of rolling your own solution.

Apple’s instructions: http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#featuredarticles/SubversionXcode3/

A slightly more complicated integration:

Solution no. 5:

I know you’re itching for Visual SVN-alike on the mac, but one of the big reasons you’re not getting a lot of answers is that SVN and Apache don’t exist by default on Windows (an itch that Visual SVN scratches), but do exist on OSX.

The argument goes like this: if you’re savvy enough to be using SVN, then most likely you will either be happy with what OSX has by default (command line!), or you likely have a Linux server somewhere that serves SVN for you.

I recommend a couple of options for you in addition to what everyone else mentions:

Keep your existing windows machine as a server for your SVN needs
Run a VMWare appliance + VMWare fusion (here are some Trac+SVN appliances)

Solution no. 6:

I can recommend Versions, if you need a comprehensive 3rd-party app.

Until recently I had a simple setup – a local SVN (file) repository on my local drive; then used Xcode’s SCM (Source Control Management) windows to manage SVN commands – it’s not too bad for most of the day-to-day actions. Obviously, this is assuming you’re using Xcode?

Solution no. 7:

You can download subversion for OSX from WANdisco. They also have uberSVN which is a web based tool similar to VisualSVN with much more functionality.

Solution no. 8:

While this isn’t mac-central per-say, Warehouse was open sourced some time ago and might be worth a look. It’s a web-based GUI for svn and git repository management.

Solution no. 9:

The server and the GUI are separate components. As for great SVN GUIs, Versions.app seems to be the favorite.

Editing to add the following additional SVN apps:
