Subversion

Your SVN space is

https://srl.ozyegin.edu.tr/cs222sp18/YOUR_SVN_USERNAME/

YOUR_SVN_USERNAME and password will be emailed to you.

• A brief and nice SVN tutorial
• Optional: Using SVN on the terminal. This is not required and will not be needed in our course; we will interact with the SVN via the IDE. However, it’s a good idea to be familiar with SVN on the command line, and to be aware that a version control system is indepedent from the IDE you’re using.
