Use this command to add a new locally available project to the repository and to create the corresponding SmartSVN project.
Select the local directory, for which you want to create a new project and a new module in the repository.
Choose the repository you want the new module to be created in. If the profile does not exist yet, click the Manage button to add it.
After switching to this page, it takes a few moments until the repository is scanned. You are able to dive into the repository by expanding the directory nodes, for more details refer to Repository Browser. Use the Create Directory to create a new directory for your project in the repository.
Note | You can create recursive directories at the same time, by specifying the directories separated by /. This helps to keep the Log nicer as there will only show up one transaction for creating all the directories. |
After you've created the necessary structures in the repository, select the directory which should be linked with the root of your local project and click Next.
At this page you can assign a name to the project, which will automatically be created. If you just want to import the project without further working with it, deselect the option Add to list of managed projects.
Use this page to review your choices. Click Back to change them or Finish to start the Module creation.
The result of the Create Module command will be a new project, for which only the local root directory is under SVN control. This gives you many possibilities to configure which files/directories of your local file system should actually be versioned in the repository. From the Edit menu you can use Add and Ignore on files and directories. Furthermore, for files you can adjust properties by the corresponding commands from the Properties menu. After the project has been fully configured, use Modify|Commit to do the final import into the repository.
