Jump to: Index | Subversion | Connecting to Subversion


Subversion is a method of managing files; you can store files and a history of changes on a server and access them remotely. Labyrinth Data Services provides an unlimited number of Subversion repositories with all its shell accounts.

To connect to a Subversion server you use a Subversion client - there are many available. The method of connecting to a subversion server can vary wildly from client to client so it is recommended that you have a look at the documentation that is supplied with your Subversion client. If you do not have one, we recommend TortiseSVN for Windows or the official Subversion client for OSX or Linux.

Once you have installed your client, you need to configure it to connect to our server. Our server is located at https://svn.labyrinthdata.net.au, with repositories located beneath that. Configure your client with the following settings:

Repository URL https://svn.labyrinthdata.net.au/<repository>
Username Your username
Password Your password

<repository> will be your repository name; this is typically your normal login username.

Note that only the https:// protocol will work; others like http:// or svn+ssh://= or =file:// will be rejected. This is for security - to ensure that your username, password or files are not stolen as they travel over the internet.

For information on how to use Subversion, we recommend the excellent online Subversion Book.
