How to set up a simple subversion workflow?

GitHub: What would be the best way to use both Subversion and Git?

  • I use Subversion to update my plugins to WordPress.org. I personally like to use Git and am wondering what would be the best practice to use both Subversion and Git. Do I just set the trunk folder of Subversion's working directory to the Git's clone directory? I use TortoiseSVN and TortoiseGit and when I use TortoiseGit, I see an option for a Subversion repository.

  • Answer:

    You can manage git projects on github using SVN. svn checkout https://github.com/username/projectname

Did you know that every repo on GitHub is also an svn repository?

As already mentioned: You can use svn to checkout from github. And this is not the same as you see with TortoiseGit.If you really need to use svn and github, you should checkout with  svn checkout https://github.com/user/project/trunk (see https://github.com/blog/1438-improved-svn-here-to-stay-old-svn-going-away )What you see in TortoiseGit is the opposite: Using Git with an SVN Backend. TortoiseGit would use git2svn (or similar tools) to map from your local git to the svn server. And that is the reason why there are the check boxes to set up the correct endpoint folders for trunk / tags / branch.
