Using Tortoise SVN, how can I download the latest version of the source code of my CodePlex application?

Question

I'm trying to figure out how to download the latest source code.

Here's what I've done.

1. On my desktop machine, I created my CodePlex app account, installed Tortoise SVN and successfully uploaded my code to the site. The source code now shows on the CodePlex site.

2. On my laptop, I installed Tortoise SVN. I then created a blank folder and I'm now trying to download the code available on my CodePlex site.

I know my SVN url, and my user name and password.

I'm just lost as to how to do it. I try SVN Update, but it only downloads a couple of files, not the complete source code.

Answer 1

With Tortoise simply Right-Click in your Directory and do an "SVN Checkout.." This option is directly above your "Tortoise SVN" menu.

Answer 2

Instead of "SVN Update"
try "TortoiseSVN->Update to Revision..."
and select "Update Depth=Fully recursive".
