How do I create a branch?

Question

How do I create a branch in SVN?

Answer 1

• Create a new folder outside of your current project. You can give it any name. (Example: You have a checkout for a project named "Customization". And it has many projects, like "Project1", "Project2"....And you want to create a branch of "Project1". So first open the "Customization", right click and create a new folder and give it a name, "Project1Branch").
• Right click on "Myproject1"....TortoiseSVN -> Branch/Tag.
• Choose working copy.
• Open browser....Just right of parallel on "To URL".
• Select customization.....right click then Add Folder. and go through the folder which you have created. Here it is "Project1Branch". Now clik the OK button to add.
• Take checkout of this new banch.
• Again go to your project which branch you want to create. Right click TorotoiseSVN -> branch/tag. Then select working copy. And you can give the URL as your branch name. like {your IP address/svn/AAAA/Customization/Project1Branch}. And you can set the name in the URL so it will create the folder with this name only. Like {Your IP address/svn/AAAA/Customization/Project1Branch/MyProject1Branch}.
• Press the OK button. Now you can see the logs in ...your working copy will be stored in your branch.
• Now you can take a check out...and let you enjoy your work. :)
