Answer 1

grep username ~/.subversion/auth/svn.simple/* --after-context=2 | tail -1 

Explanation:

1. Grep the file in grep username ~/.subversion/auth/svn.simple/* will look for username

2. --after-context=2 will print +2 line after it encounters username

Output:

username V 6 Bhavik 

3. To print only the username
   use | tail -1 will give me my username i.e Bhavik.

Hope this explains the code.

Answer 2

In Linux, you will find the following file in your home directory:

~/.subversion/auth/svn.simple

In this file, you can see the "currently logged in user".
