Beginners guide to learn how to use Subversion with Visual Studio [closed]

Question

What's the best way for me to learn how to use Subversion as a source code control for my Asp.Net Web Projects?

I haven't had much contact with source control before; however I have a very basic understanding of its features, so I'm looking for a way to learn the best practices.

Any tip will be very appreciated.

Answer 1

Once you've setup SVN you'll need to setup your repository structure. A common setup is to have a Branch, Tag, Trunk setup however there are others that may suit your needs.

Once you've setup your server you'll need a client. The most common one is TortoiseSVN. It doesn't integrate with Visual Studio, however it's extremely powerful.

Once you install tortoise, you'll want to setup your exclusion list to make sure you only commit files that are relevant to your project.
