How to install and use "SVN" tortoise Repository into mac machine. I am new in it and I don't know from where to start.
Sorry tortoisesvn is not available for the mac at the moment. I checked their forums and I don't see a request for it, so you may want to place it?

Some people have got it somewhat working with wine/crossover

Alternatives
Some people use SVNX

Some people use scplugin

versions

I have not tried these however. Any form of subversion for mac should work just as well.
If you just need source control there is also git for mac

I seem to be having this really weird issue where Github Desktop doesn't open any windows on the mac.
Upon setup I had a window to sign in and choose my repo but after that set up no window shows up
Anyone else had an issue like this?
Is there a way I can provide log/error files?
This sounds like the same problem I had, for which I contacted GitHub Support. They suggested deleting GitHub Desktop and downloading a fresh copy (e.g., 222 in my case), then unarchiving it with the Mac Archive Utility instead of a third-party archiver (I had used WinZip). This resolved the windowing problem I had.
I had a similar problem and I resolved it by simply unzipping a fresh copy of GitHub Desktop.
I used "TheUnarchiver app" (https://itunes.apple.com/it/app/the-unarchiver/id425424353?mt=12) for this, (but any unpacking software should to the trick).
I work with git in my laptop computer (a mac) but sometimes have to use my code in a desktop machine (windows) to which I have no administrator access and which is also not connected to the internet due to security reasons.
I want to use git in that machine as well, but the IT personnel at my workplace has told me that it is not possible to install it in that particular computer room.
I have seen this thread about portable GIT (How to install Github on USB Drive?), but it seems to work only on Windows. Is there any way to make it work in both windows and mac?
I have seen threads here about how to use USB as a portable repository by starting a bare repo and cloning the contents to the other machine. I have also thought about cloning that same repo to the USB from my remote. All these solutions are not feasible because that desktop machine I want to work with has no git installed and I can't commit or do any git operation when there.
Is there any way I can have a git installation in my USB and have it working both in my laptop and in that work desktop? Can it work between two different OSs (Mac and Windows)?
Thank you for your appreciation.
Use a normal git repo on the usb drive.
Use UTF-8 as encoding for all the files to make sure that you won't get any problems with that
Before you go to your windows machine, make sure that you have checked out the branch that you want to work on.
Use the checked out files and work with them.
Back at your mac, you can commit and push and do whatever you like.
OR
Use your smartphone as usb drive. If you have Android, you can install botbrew on it and use git on your mobile. With that you can do your git operations while at your windows pc.
I'm looking for a (free) subversion client that gives a complete DIFF/Compare between two revisions. Xcode's Source Control comparison tool only compares one file at a time, and doesn't give you a list of files updated between two revisions.
I tried to use svnX, but i'm unable to configure it with my local repository using:
svn+ssh://username#server-machine.local/Users/Path/subversion/ProjectName/
Any suggestions regarding an appropriate subversion client, and/or how to make svnX to work?
The best tool that I have found is subclipse. It is an add on for eclipse but you can use it to manage your repository as well.
Collabnet also offers a product called Collabnet Destktop that includes the subclipse client.
One major caveat is that you have to install the JavaHL library. Make sure to read the OS specific directions!
You might have to play with it a bit but the repository browser is very powerful.
I use svnX in Mac OS 10.7.5, You can download svnX for Max OS X here.
There are some server they provide free/private Space for subversion. I used this free/private space from Assembla
Here is screenShot that shows how to setup svnX in Mac OS X.
In working copy you can see difference in revision. svnX uses fileMerge to show difference. Its one of the best subversion client for mac os x.
I downloaded the subversion installer in the "Community Binaries" at collabnet:
http://www.collab.net/downloads/subversion#tab-3. When I try to install it, I go through Introduction, Read Me, and License. When I get to Destination Select, "Install for all users of this computer" is greyed out. I can not proceed during this point. Does anyone know why?
Mountain Lion does have Subversion version 1.6.18 available from Apple. However, it's a bit convoluted to get it:
Download Xcode from the Mac OS X App Store (Free program)
Select the Menu item Xcode->Preferences...
Select the "Downloads" section.
Choose Command Line Tools and click on the Install button.
After that, the Subversion command line client will be available. The svnserve server is also included. Unfortunately, the mod_dav.so and mod_dav_svn.so files needed for running Subversion server via Apache https are no longer included. I think they might be included in Mac OS X Server, but that's a $20 purchase.
Hope this helps. It's not version 1.7.x, but it's much easier to get working than the old community binary version which I don't believe works in Mountain Lion (and is also version 1.6.18)
If you don't need Xcode, you can download the Developer Command Line Tools from https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action directly, saving yourself a tonne of disk space and time...
Apparently it's not been updated is the message on open.Collab.net...

Message The community volunteer who provides the binary on our site has not updated it for Lion or SVN 1.7. All of the Mac packaging tools, like MacPorts and HomeBrew have updated and you can get it there. There is also a listing of places to get them here: http://subversion.apache.org/packages.html#osx
I've always searched for a decent visual diff tool for git diffs and merges and have never found one that is both great to use and stable... I've noticed that Xcode 4 has git built in now so was wondering how I could use both for my work.
So question 1)
I only do web dev, no OSX or iOS apps... but is there a way I can tap into Xcode to use their visual diff tool maybe?
question 2)
Without realising git was bundled, I installed Xcode (so Homebrew works) then installed git separately with "brew install git". Have I now doubled up and do I need to delete the one I installed with Homebrew?
question 3)
Would Xcode be any use to me for any reasons that I haven't noticed? would it be any use for project handling or anything?
Many thanks :)
1) Xcode ships with with its own three-way merge tool: /Developer/Applications/Utilities/FileMerge.app/ I haven't used Git in Xcode much but I bet that's the tool they use for doing diff/merging.
2) You doubled up but don't worry about it, many times people will install newer versions of OS X supplied tools (just make sure not to overwrite the one supplied by OS X.)
3) If you're not doing OS X/iOS development, I don't see Xcode being that good for you. The editor in Xcode leaves a lot to be desired in my opinion.
My two cents. :)
