Nautilus svn context menu (almost)like TortoiseSVN

Posted on | February 29, 2008 |

Many are fans of TortoiseSVN, surely it is a nice and easy way for performing svn actions especially who are used to using GUI. At Trippert we, the linux fans, are pushing others to use linux :). Junal (my dev-met at trippert) asked me if there is any tortoise like tool in Linux. Unfortunately the answer was “No”, actually who cares when you have a terminal :P

Anyway, GNU/Linux seldom refuses any good thing. Same goes here. Gnome is my choice of desktop manager and there is a svn action script collection for nautilus. You can download it from synaptic or using apt-get like below:

sudo apt-get install nautilus-script-collection-svn

After installing it, you have to enable the script to appear. Use the following command:

nautilus-script-manager enable Subversion

Close any nautilus file browser and open it again. Now right click and get the context menus :)

Happy Linuxing :D

    Forgive ME, but more about the subject, please!! You are going away from the topic too frequently, therefore it is uneasy to read your posts.
