    2323{{{
    2424svn update
    2525}}}
     26   * '''IMPORTANT''': If you are a developer (that you change the source code and will send/commit it later), '''always''' update your directory/copy BEFORE to start working on it, also, it is recommended to not send your changes after hours or days of work, the reason of this is because if somebody else is working at the same time on the same sources, you or him will have a conflict with the sources when trying to send them. In the next section is explained an easy trick to resolve this easly.

    39     * ,,You need to add a comment with the '''-m''' option, it's important that you provide a good description in order to better understand the steps of the code, and browse better old versions and old modifications,,
     40    * You need to add a comment with the '''-m''' option, it's important that you provide a good description in order to know better ''what is about'' your modifications, and so to browse more easly changes in the repository when you are searching for specific things

    41  * Upload (add files/directories) it in the next commit
     42 * '''Add''' files/directories that will be uploaded in your next commit.

    47    * '''Important''': When you do ''svn add directory'', it will be included ALL the files and subdirectories of this directory, this means that you will add a lot of files that are not needed, like '''.edj''', elf or binary files, compiled ones, etc... '''please''' clean up the directories that you are adding to the SVN before to import them, we dont want to have '''not-needed''' files in the SVN repository that will takes space on the server, making a svn repository slow, and that conflicts with our own builds. '''Thanks'''
    48  * Delete files

'''PLEASE''' clean up the directories that you are adding to the SVN before to import them with this command, we dont want to have '''not-needed''' files in the SVN repository that will takes space on the server and our copies, making a svn repository slow, and that will also conflict with our own builds (like files that are compilable). '''Thanks'''
     49   * Note: If you copy a file to your directory and don't run this command, it will be not uploaded to the repository, this is very useful like if you compile a .edj file and you don't need to send it.

     51 * '''Delete''' files

     83 * '''TIP''' about fixing changes (conflicts) between different codes:
     84If you have a conflict when trying to send your modifications, because somebody else has also send modifications in the file that are you working (and so, you have started to work in a version of the sources that is previous to his changes, in other words, you need to mix your changes with his changes), an easy way to do this is to; move your conflicting directory to elsewhere, like ''directory.mine'', run ''svn update'' in order to get a new copy of that directory updated that include the changes that conflicts with yours, now run the tool ''meld'' with your modifications and the new directory (on this order), then you have in the left your changes that needs to be merged in the right, with this tool you can do it very easly and fast (try to press the keys ''shift, control, alt'' before to merge, to see more options). When you have finished to include your changes in the new directory, exit the application and commit the new directory like it was your original one, go to http://dev.elivecd.org/timeline and if your changes looks correct, remove the old directory.
