Versions. Not working copy

Question

First, a little background:

I am a designer / developer and decided to use subversive activities for a personal project. I am the only one working on this project. I set up a Beanstalk account and installed Versions on Mac. Locally, I have MySQL and PHP going through MAMP. What I want to do is localize and push the code in Beanstalk. I do not plan to deploy with Beanstalk on my real server at the moment.

In Beanstalk, I created a repository and imported all my code. Then I installed Versions and added a bookmark to the Beanstalk repository. So far, so good. Further I assume (this is a wild assumption). I need to add a so-called “working copy of the bookmark” so that Versions can view my local copy for changes and transfer it to my Beanstalk repository.

Problem: When I click “Bookmark a working copy” in “Version” and I select a folder on my computer, I get an error message:

'/ Applications / MAMP / www_mydomain' is not a working copy '

I have no idea what that means, and now I'm stuck. How can I tell Versions to track local folder changes?

Answer 1

“Not working copy” means that it is not synchronized with SVN and has not been uploaded, or is a file that is not part of the repository (in this case, it should be added to the working copy).

I am not familiar with versions, but with Subversion I usually run a project, checking from the repository. This tracks changes at your end and makes it a “working copy” of the repository.

Do you have the option "Depart from repository"? Try to do this in a new folder and see what happens.
