Installing WordPress With Clean Subversion Repositories

Many people have used Subversion to install WordPress or have installed WordPress into its own directory. You can combine these techniques to create a “clean” Subversion installation in which the user’s custom files (wp-config.php and wp-content/) are stored outside of the WordPress application directory, so that user files and files under version control never overlap. (Original credit to Sam Bauers for presenting these instructions at WordCampUK.)

Check out a working copy and install

Create the new location for the core WordPress files to be stored (we will use /wordpress in the examples).

Following the New Install using Subversion instructions, check out (Subversion command co) the stable version of WordPress you have chosen. Do not type the $ characters — they are just indications of the command prompt. Here is the command (assuming the version you want is 2.9.1):

$ svn co http://core.svn.wordpress.org/tags/2.9.1 .

When the download is complete, edit the wp-config.php (see editing wp-config.php) ignoring the Advanced Options and save the file within the root directory (http://example.com/).

Above commands will fun on any linux distribution.

fetch svn project without svn files and without deleting

I worked with any technologies and languages. Many times we need some folder or codebase for your new project.
So we need to copy old project code or folder in our new project. In rails we need many plugins for our project. Some times few plugins are not getting installed in our project.

fetch svn project without svn files and without deleting

Few days back i tried to install acts_as_solr plugin in my project. I got an error. So i coppied acts_as_solr plugin from my old project and pasted in new project.

When i tried to SVN commit the files in the new project. That files started commiting to Old project.
So i need to remove all .svn folders form all the subfolders. Than only i can add all the folder to new project.

I google around for solution. I found many ways:

  • Remove the all .svn folder from all subfolder.
  • Through linux command find all .svn file and delete. (but i think this harmful)
  • SVN export – command

SVN export is the very simple and reliable way to fetch project out of svn.
In windows, using svn export is very easy.
