Jedi - Git => SVN?

[Ian Branch 127]

Hi Team,

Confession - I know little about Git & SVN.

I currently get the latest Jedi libraries via Git using the following process..

======================

JCL:
Delete the d:jcl directory
git clone https://github.com/project-jedi/jcl.git jcl
cd jcl
git submodule update --init
jcl\install.bat

 

JVCL:
Delete the d:jvcl directory
git clone https://github.com/project-jedi/jvcl.git jvcl
cd jvcl
jvcl\install.bat
==========================

There are two questions I have.

1.  Instead of having to delete the directories before I run the above, is there a Git command sequence that will simply update my existing download?

2.  I can update my GExperts by using the following command..

===========================

svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/gexperts/code/trunk GExperts

===========================

   Will SVN work in Git repositories, and if so, what would be the SVN commands for the Jedi libraries please?

 

Regards & TIA,

Ian

Once you have a git repo all you need is Pull: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-pull

Hi FredS

So, the following from the jcl & jvcl directories should achieve what I want?

=====================

git pull https://github.com/project-jedi/jcl.git

git pull https://github.com/project-jedi/jvcl.git

=====================

Thank you.

 

Regards,

Ian

By default after a clone you should have the source of your clone set as 'origin'.

Although I do use Bash, I find TortoiseGit much easier and for that its r-click>Pull 🙂

In your Bash terminal, cd your working folder, and execute 'git pull origin master', that's all.

 

I'd suggest GitExtensions, and execute it's 'Pull' menu command.

Svn also works fine for Github repositories, as long as you don't try to commit or use externals. Also, pull requests don't work.

If I remember correctly, the URL is the same.

That was correct some years ago, but now you have to remove the '.git' postfix, and append '/trunk' if you want to checkout the trunk only.

It should also be possible to use branches and commit, according to their article: Support for Subversion clients.
