SVN is accessed by using a special program called a client. Once you've installed the SVN client of your choice on your machine (see below for a list), you'll need the repository access URL to interact with your CloudForge repository. To get an access URL for your client, follow these steps: • Login to CloudForge > Projects tab > click on the Project name > click SVN tab on the left side • Find the blue 'Quick URLs' header on the right side • Below the HTTPS URL text, the repository access URL is posted.
The best Mac SVN client just asked for Mac SVN client recommendations on Twitter and I realized that I hadn't blogged about. It's the only SVN client I've found that is actually usable on OS X. PC users are spoiled with the excellent but the few clients that exist on the Mac, well, how should I put it, umm, suck.
Except for Syncro. Personally, though, I still prefer the command line!:) Comments • There is a TortoiseSVN-a-like client for OSX named SCPlugin. It works great if you don't have to access secured repositories. By Patrick Pietens on 2007-05-15 11:40:38 • I use the SubClipse within Eclipse, and it works perfectly.
This is a tutorial on how to install a Tortoise SVN client like application on mac. NB: this application is from 2010 and is made for Mac OS Snow Leopard. Although it works perfectly fine on my machine running Mac OS Mountain Lion 10.8.3.I cannot guarantee that it will work on your version of mac nor that it will be bugfree.

By Richard Leggett on 2007-05-15 12:16:46 • I like also SvnX by amnesic on 2007-05-15 13:54:40 • I was also going to mention svnX - works pretty good, and it's open-source, so the price is just right as well. By Josh Buhler on 2007-05-15 13:58:52 • We're looking into this very issue right now, as we're trying to get the design team into the practice of using version control.
Mac Os Svn Client
Syncro SVN looks impressive, but I think it may be too much for our non-technical designers. We're trying to go from a 'what's wrong with saving to my desktop' mentality here. We're only looking at binary files (PSD, FLA, Illustrator, etc) so we're not too worried about code merging functionality.
The simpler the better: Lock it, Change it, Check it in. SCPlugin for Finder looks good, but not being able to connect to a secure repository would be a deal breaker. We've been looking at ZigVersion (which looks pretty simple. We've also been looking into the feasibility of bridging Adobe Version Cue to run off the Subversion server. If anyone has prior experience in this, let me know:) by Miles on 2007-05-15 15:29:13 • I've been using the free Foundation version of SmartSVN Works pretty well. And of course command line svn binaries from come in handy from time to time. By Erki Esken on 2007-05-15 17:25:03 • Last time I needed to use SVN on Mac, I looked and tested a lot of tools tryingto find something close to TortoiseSVN, and found nothing.
Ended using the command-line, duh I would have loved to know about SCPlugin at this time. @Miles: when I had to make designer on Mac communicate with programmers on Windows/Mac/whatever and both using SVN, I ended using autoversioning DAV svn SVNPath /path/to/repository SVNAutoversioning on that way you just give network folder path to the designers and they use it as any other filesystem, but in the background the server keep all the versioning.

After that, SCPlugin will be able to update and commit without problems. By Josh Tynjala on 2007-05-15 23:24:18 • Sorry Aral, I forgot to close my em tag. By Josh Tynjala on 2007-05-15 23:25:01 • Yeesh!
I took one look at that awful screenshot on the Syncro SVN homepage, and it scared me away. I think I will try SCPlugin first.:) by adampasz on 2007-05-16 00:41:18 • close em tag.:) Thanks for the heads up. I've been using SmartSVN which is pretty lame in comparison. Thanks by Bjorn on 2007-05-16 03:45:20 • Can't beat the command line;) by Rob on 2007-05-16 08:32:13 • @Josh: I read about it but unfortunately it didn't work for me! By Patrick Pietens on 2007-05-16 08:58:00 • I think its worth taking the effort to learn the command line interface, once you get up and running its perfect and not only that so many tutorials/screencasts use it in their demos if you arent set up to use it, it becomes a pain.
