Get started

Here are some basic tasks to help you get started with AnkhSVN.

• Install AnkhSVN
  To install AnkhSVN, download and run the installer.
• Enable AnkhSVN for source control
  When you enable AnkhSVN as a VS.NET source control tool, you can use it to perform perform common version control operations using Subversion directly within the Visual Studio environment.
• Connect a project to AnkhSVN
  When you have a different source control system set as your default for VS.NET, and you want to start using AnkhSVN, the first step is to "connect" to AnkhSVN.
• Add a solution to a repository
  To start versioning a new project or solution, or an existing one, add it to a Subversion repository.
• Explore a repository
  To be able to view the hierarchy of a repository, you must add its URL to the Repository Explorer.
• Add your working copy to the Working Copy Explorer
  To easily work with files and folders in your local copy of the repository, including ones that are not part of your project or solution, add their location to the Working Copy Explorer.
