SVN¶

Synopsis¶

This module assists the users to install the latest version of SVN in Ubuntu. Apache Subversion (often abbreviated SVN, after the command name svn) is a software versioning and revision control system distributed as free software under the Apache License.[1] Developers use Subversion to maintain current and historical versions of files such as source code, web pages, and documentation. Its goal is to be a mostly compatible successor to the widely used Concurrent Versions System (CVS). Let us see how this module facilitates in installing, uninstalling, ensuring the subversion in ubuntu.

Help Command¶

The help command guides the users regarding the purpose and as well as about the options that are included in the SVN. It lists out the alternative parameters of SVN. It also describes the syntax for install, uninstall, ensuring the SVN. The help command for SVN module is shown as below.
