¶ Rationale
Before you can begin working on your LEMDO edition, you must first check out the LEMDO repository to your machine using a Subversion (SVN) command. This will allow you to make changes
to your files from your computer and send them back to the repository. This documentation
will guide you through the steps for checking out the repo.
¶ Practice: Check Out the Repository
First, you must determine where you want to save the LEMDO repository. Usually, you
will want to keep it at a high level in the hierarchy of your computer file system.
For Windows and Linux users, we recommend saving it to your local disk one step below
your user file (e.g., C:\Users\Jenstad\lemdo). If you are a Mac user, we recommend saving it to your Documents folder so that it is easy to navigate to in Finder. We strongly advise against checking
the repo out to Dropbox, Sharepoint, or a OneNote drive.
Next, open your Terminal. Terminal will automatically open to your user directory. If you are working on a
Windows or Linux machine and want to save the repo one step below your user file as
recommended, you do not need to change directory. If you are on a Mac and want to
save the repo to your Documents folder, you will change directory by typing
cd Documents
and pressing the Return key.You can now check out the repo by either typing or copying
svn checkout https://hcmc.uvic.ca/svn/lemdo
into your Terminal and then pressing the Enter/Return key. This command will both
create a new directory called lemdo and download the repo into it. All of the LEMDO file names will scroll by as they
download. This may take a couple of minutes.The checkout will finish with the message
Checked out revisionfollowed by the revision number. The revision number indicates the state of the repository by showing how many changes have been committed to the repository since it was set up. Every time a new change is committed to the repository, the revision number will increase by one.
There is now a complete copy of LEMDOʼs files on your hard drive. You can verify this
by opening your File Explorer (on Windows and Linux) or Finder (on Mac) and navigating
to the location where you checked out the repo.
Always open Oxygen and the LEMDO project (.xpr) file before opening any .xml documents.
Do not open them by clicking on them in your file finder window.
¶ Step-by-Step: Check Out the Repository
Determine where you want to save the entire LEMDO SVN repository (typically one step
below your user profile on Windows and Linux or in your Documents folder for Mac).
Open your Terminal. If you are on a Mac, navigate to the directory that you want to
check out in by using the command
cd
(i.e., cd Documents
).Once you are in the correct directory, type the SVN command
svn checkout https://hcmc.uvic.ca/svn/lemdo
and press Enter/Return. This command will create a lemdo directory and check the repo out into that directory.You now have a minute or so to grab a cup of tea. While you sip your tea, you can
watch the many files scrolling by in Terminal and be impressed with the amount of
work LEMDO editors have done.
At the end of the list of files, the command line will show which revision was checked
out.
