Using Tortoise SVN, how do I download the latest source code for my CodePlex application?

I am trying to figure out how to download the latest source code.

Here is what I did.

  • On my desktop computer, I created my CodePlex application account, installed Tortoise SVN, and successfully uploaded my code to the site. Source code is now displayed on the CodePlex website.

  • On my laptop I installed Tortoise SVN. Then I created an empty folder, and now I'm trying to download the code available on my CodePlex website.

I know my SVN address and my username and password.

I just lost how to do this. I try SVN Update, but it only downloads a couple of files, not the full source code.

With the tortoise, simply right-click in your directory and do "SVN Checkout .." This option is located directly above your "Tortoise SVN" menu.

Instead of "SVN Update"
try "TortoiseSVN-> Update to Revision ..."
and select Update Depth = Fully Recursive.

When starting without code on a laptop, run SVN Checkout for the first time, this will create a working copy.

SVN updates must be performed on this working copy (or subpath). It is normal for an update to only extract a few files, since it only fetches the changes

Just create the folder where you want to create the files, then go up, right-click on the folder and select "SVN Checkout" in the menu. Then enter your URL repository.

If you do not see that the TortoiseSVN menu option should be set incorrectly.
