How do I download code using SVN/Tortoise from Google Code?

Question

I just saw a really cool WPF twitter client that I think is developed by the Herding Code podcast guys HerdingCode called Witty. (or at least, I see a lot of those guys usi

Answer 1

After you install Tortoise (separate SVN client not required), create a new empty folder for the project somewhere and right click it in Windows. There should be an option for SVN Checkout. Choosing that option will open a dialog box. Paste the URL you posted above in the first textbox of that dialog box and click "OK".

Answer 2

If you are behind a firewall you will have to configure the Tortoise client to connect to it. Right click somewhere in your window, select "TortoiseSVN", select "settings", and then select "network" on the left side of the panel. Fill out all the required fields. Good luck.

Answer 3

If you have Tortoise SVN, like I do, take the google link, and ONLY copy the URL.

Regular- (svn checkout http://wittytwitter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ wittytwitter-read-only)

Modified to URL- (http://wittytwitter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ wittytwitter)

Create a folder, right click the empty space. You can Browse Repo or just download it all via checkout.

I don't know whether you have to be a Google member or not, but I signed up just in case. Have fun with the code.
