I have an existing Visual Studio 2013 solution, and I want to put it under source control using VisualSVN Server. I installed VisualSVN Server and created a new blank repository. Their Getting Started page doesn't explain how to add a folder structure and files to the repository. I am expecting an import or add files option when right clicking on the repository node in the UI.

How do I add an exiting root folder and all its files and folders of a Visual Studio solution to a repository and make it ready so any SVN client can check out files from it? I am planning to use TortoiseSVN as the client.

You need to install TortoiseSVN and check out a working copy of the repository. Copy from solution into the working copy, select all files, and make a rightclick and select TortoiseSVN -> Add.

Commit the changes and now you have the data added to the repository.

  • I don't know what "check out a working copy of the Repository" means. What working copy? The repository is empty. Can you explain the steps. – Tony_Henrich Nov 28 '14 at 05:45
  • To make changes to a repo you need a working copy, even if the repository is empty. I added the help link of checkout. – magicandre1981 Nov 28 '14 at 07:34
  • I followed the steps from this question but I will accept this answer because I think they are similar http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1412256/import-on-tortoisesvn – Tony_Henrich Nov 29 '14 at 00:02
