Use SVN in Command Line (Windows)

I was very annoyed by the TortoiseSVN been lack of command line interface. I like be able to run the simple svn update from command line than clicks this and that in windows. This is how I install a svn in command line and use it together with TortoiseSVN.

You will firstly need to download and install Slick SVN2010-01-26_204601

Don’t worry about the existing TortoiseSVN (TSVN) installation. Slick SVN has no problem to work with TSVN together.

I chose Typical during the installation.

You can run svn –version in the Command Prompt to check if it has installed properly.

This is how I check svn status, and shows that the installation is done and working.

Additionally, I want to point out the reason why the svn is recognised by windows.

env property

and you can find out the Path has the SlikSvn\bin\ directory
