SVN Revision – How to Check | Find Previous Revisions

Subversion, otherwise known as SVN is a great way to keep track of source code while developing a product in Linux environment. I use SVN for both official and personal use. Here is a short tutorial that explains how to check previous revisions in SVN.

First get into a home directory where you use svn, in my case its /home/vamsi/mywork.

cd /home/vamsi/mywork

This means that all the directories and sub directories under the folder mywork are under SVN control.

Here is the command I usually use to quickly check the revisions under mywork directory.

svn log -q

The above command displays revision number and the summary information.

Here is a command you can use for much descriptive version of revisions.

svn log -v

The above command prints all the extra information you need to check before you can revert back to any revision.

Now, lets say if you want to check out previous 10 revisions, then this command is just for you.

svn log -l 10

That’s all I’ve got for now. Comment back if you want to know more about SVNrevisions.
