Step 2

Commit from above your changes

It is possible to commit changes from the folders where you make them, as you go along. If you have a lot of editing to do, however, this may be too time-consuming. In that case, you will want to complete your editing work, and then commit all of your changes at once. Because TurtleSVN commits only the files and folders that are below the current location in the folder tree, it is best to make the commit from the top-level folder of the working copy, as shown in the illustration to the right.

In the illustration, the red exclamation mark shows that changes have been made somewhere in the tree below, that need to be committed before they will be accessible to other users and to the website.

Step 2

Select the commit menu item

A TurtleSVN commit operation is performed, like everything else, by selecting the operation from the right-click mouse menu. The Commit option is shown in the illustration to the right.

Step 2

Commit memo

TurtleSVN will invite you to enter a note concerning the changes. You can leave this blank if you like, but it can be useful to have a short note of the purpose of changes, for future reference. This note can be in any language, including Japanese.

Step 2

Commit report

TurtleSVN will report the files and folders for which it has sent changes to the repository. If problems arise during the commit attempt, the complaint will appear here. The illustration shows a commit in progress. When it completes, TurtleSVN will report the current version number in the repository, in the usual way.

Step 2

Icon update

You may need to refresh the file browser to get the correct icon display, but after a successful commit operation, the files and directories for committing should show a green check-mark, as shown to the right.
