Adding new files to a subversion repository

I have som开发者_开发知识库e files on my local Unix machine that need to be added to a Subversion repository (access via HTTPS). How do I do this?

Doing svn commit in the directory just says it's not a working directory.

---

• Checkout a working copy of the repository (or at least the subdirectory that you want to add the files to): svn checkout https://example.org/path/to/repo/bleh
• Copy the files over there.
• svn add file1 file2...
• svn commit

I am not aware of a quicker option.

Note: if you are on the same machine as your Subversion repository, the URL can use the file: specifier with a path in place of https: in the svn checkout command. For example svn checkout file:///path/to/repo/bleh.

PS. as pointed out in the comments and other answers, you can use something like svn import . <URL> if you want to recursively import everything in the current directory. With this option, however, you can't skip over some of the files; it's all or nothing.

Probably svn import would be the best option around. Check out Getting Data into Your Repository (in Version Control with Subversion, For Subversion).

The svn import command is a quick way to copy an unversioned tree of files into a repository, creating intermediate directories as necessary. svn import doesn't require a working copy, and your files are immediately committed to the repository. You typically use this when you have an existing tree of files that you want to begin tracking in your Subversion repository. For example:

$ svn import /path/to/mytree \
             http://svn.example.com/svn/repo/some/project \
             -m "Initial import"
Adding         mytree/foo.c
Adding         mytree/bar.c
Adding         mytree/subdir
Adding         mytree/subdir/quux.h

Committed revision 1.
$

The previous example copied the contents of the local directory mytree into the directory some/project in the repository. Note that you didn't have to create that new directory first—svn import does that for you. Immediately after the commit, you can see your data in the repository:

$ svn list http://svn.example.com/svn/repo/some/project
bar.c
foo.c
subdir/
$

Note that after the import is finished, the original local directory is not converted into a working copy. To begin working on that data in a versioned fashion, you still need to create a fresh working copy of that tree.

Note: if you are on the same machine as the Subversion repository you can use the file:// specifier with a path rather than the https:// with a URL specifier.

Normally svn add * works. But if you get message like svn: warning: W150002: due to mix off versioned and non-versioned files in working copy. Use this command:

svn add <path to directory> --force

or

svn add * --force

To add a new file in SVN

svn add file_name
svn commit -m "text about changes..."

To add a new file in a directory in SVN

svn add directory_name/file_name
svn commit -m "text about changes"

To add all new files in a directory with some targets (files) are already versioned (added):

svn add directory_name/*
svn commit -m "text about changes"

---

Before you can add files in an unversioned directory, you have to add the directory itself to the versioning:

svn add directory_name

will add the directory directory_name and all sub-directories: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.8/svn.ref.svn.c.add.html
