a copy in your team’s repository, then do the following steps.

Get changes made by others

• Periodically, you should ensure that changes done by other team members get incorporated in your local working copy.

• This is known as updating.• This can be done on single files, as set of

selected files, or on an entire directory.• To update, select the files you want, right click

and select TortoiseSVN -> Update

Get changes made by others

• A window will pop up displaying the progress of the update as it runs.

• Changes done by others will be merged into your files, keeping any changes you may have done to the same files.

• The progress dialog uses color to highlight the different update actions:– Purple – New item added– Dark red – Redundant item deleted or missing

item replaced in your working copy– Green – Changes from repository successfully

merged with your local changes.– Bright red – Changes from repository merged

with local changes, resulting in conflicts which you need to resolve.

– Black – Unchanged item in your working copy updated with newer version from the repository.
