cd into the directory where you want to add the external project, then type:
| Code Block |
|---|
svn propedit svn:externals . |
Once the editor opens, add the name of the directory you want to add the external project into, and the URL of the project. So, if I want to add the UcsfLdapPHP repo (but without the PHP at the end), then type the following:
| Code Block |
|---|
UcsfLdap https://svn.library.ucsf.edu/repos/UcsfLdapPHP/trunk |
Once you save the file, svn will output something like:
| Code Block |
|---|
Set new value for property 'svn:externals' on '.' |
At this point, you need to commit the current directory:
| Code Block |
|---|
svn commit -m "Added UcsfLdap as an external project." . |
Finally, do the following to check out the code:
| Code Block |
|---|
svn update |
Now the external project is part of the current project.
