WebSVN offers a view onto your subversion repositories that’s been designed to reflect the Subversion methodology. You can view the log of any file or directory and see a list of all the files changed, added or deleted in any given revision. You can also view the differences between two versions of a file so as to see exactly what was changed in a particular revision.
Some of the features WebSVN supplies:
- Easy-to-use interface, simple to install / configure
- Supports multiple repositories, local or remote
- Optional path-based restriction of privileges
- Colourisation of file listings; MIME type support
- Blame (annotation) view of file authorship
- Comparing revisions of files / directories
- Revision and log message browsing / searching
- RSS feed support for watching any resource
- Download of files and folders
- Customisable templating system
- Multiple languages and on-demand switching
Setting up WebSVN
Installing websvn is very simple and only requires a few small steps.
First download the source from the websvn website:
cd /tmp wget http://websvn.tigris.org/files/documents/1380/49056/websvn-2.3.3.tar.gz tar xvf websvn-2.3.3.tar.gz mv websvn /var/www/html/websvn cd /var/www/html/websvn/includes/distconfig.php /var/www/html/websvn/includes/config.php vim config.php
Now add repositories like this:
$config->addRepository('MyTestRepo, 'svn://example.com/myrepo)', null, 'username, 'password');
You can add as many as you want. The repositories can be local or remote.
The end result should be this:
