Hi, Today I’m going to install Tortoise SVN, Tortoisesvn  is a SVN client software. You can use it to upload software projects, version controlling.

Now you are done with installing the svn host. so, let think of a good SVN site, there are many sites you can use for this, but I’m going to use the www.xp-dev.com it gives 200MB free.

click on the Projects tab.

15. Fill the new project details

16. Now click on the Source Control tab and click Enable Source Control link.

17. Fill in the details and press save.

18. Now after you press save, now copy that link(in my case http://svn.xp-dev.com/svn/SampleProject/ of course yours will differ according to details you entered).

19. Now, create a new folder any where you like and give it any name you like. Right click it and press SVN Checkout.

20. Paste the link you copied in URL of repository text box and press OK.

21. Now you will see these files downloading. press OK after the downloading completes.

Now you are done !!!!

22. If you need to upload some thing, add it to the folder you created, and right click the folder and select “SVN Commit…”
