TortoiseSVN commit shortcut

Question

I find it tedious when everytime I need to commit a file.The process goto windows explorer window, right click directory, then click 'Commit'... and then the tortoisesvn commit window.

Anyone know of any shortcut to do this? Maybe press a keyboard shortcut to commit instead of having to right click directory then click commit?

Thank you for saving my productivity!

Answer 1

See the chapter "automating TortoiseSVN" in the docs.

You could create a shortcut to TortoiseProc.exe and add the command line params there, e.g.:

TortoiseProc.exe /command:commit /path:"path\to\your\workingcopy"

Answer 2

I use autohotkey to do this.

Here are some instructions if you want to use it:

• Download and install autohotkey.
• Put the following text in a text file called TortoiseSVN.ahk:

; Change your hotkey here
+`::

Run TortoiseProc.exe /command:commit /path:"<path-to-your-working-copy>"

return

• The hotkey in this script is set to shift + tilde. Look at the autohotkey docs to help you choose a different hotkey.
• Make sure you put the path to your SVN working directory in the script.
• Put the text file into your startup directory so that it will run when windows restarts.
• To run the script now, just double-click the text file (providing you have already installed autohotkey).

You should now be able to use shift + tilde (or whatever your choosen hotkey) to invoke the TortoiseSVN commit dialog.
