I have an existing Visual Studio 2013 solution, and I want to put it under source control using VisualSVN Server. I installed VisualSVN Server and created a new blank repository. Their Getting Started page doesn't explain how to add a folder structure and files to the repository. I am expecting an import or add files option when right clicking on the repository node in the UI.
How do I add an exiting root folder and all its files and folders of a Visual Studio solution to a repository and make it ready so any SVN client can check out files from it? I am planning to use TortoiseSVN as the client.
You need to install TortoiseSVN and check out a working copy of the repository. Copy from solution into the working copy, select all files, and make a rightclick and select TortoiseSVN -> Add.
Commit the changes and now you have the data added to the repository.
