How To Host Files Using Googlecode And Subversion?

Googlecode is a free platform to host your Open Source Projects and Files.There are many websites in the world of internet which allows you to host your HTML files or pages for free,but you must choose googlecode subversion over them because googlecode provides you unlimited storage(4069 MB,it is too large for your HTML,CSS,JS and other files) and unlimited bandwidth which is the biggest problem of other sites,when you exceeds their bandwidth, you will get their message in place of your file or page, it's  so irritating and annoying thing for our readers. This tutorial gives you a clear insight to hosting you files and having knowledge with googlecodes

How To Host Files Using GC. And Subversion?

For easy understandings I am dividing this tutorial in three parts and they are as below,

1. Creating a new project at googlecode
2. Downloading and Configuring the SVN client
3. Uploading files using your SVN client.

Part 1 : Creating A New Project At Googlecode

Before starting you must login to your googlecode account, if you have not created till then go to code.google.com and register/login with your google account.After login follow below steps to create a new project.

• Go to Googlecode Project Hosting and click on Create a new project,Now you will redirect to the create new project page.
• Fill the below fields like I have filled un below image and make sure that you have selected "Subversion" as Version Control system.

Once you click on Create Project button you will redirect to the another page.Now click on Source tab.

On this page you will find a URL like below,copy that URL and paste it into your notepad.

Now click on googlecode.com password link,copy your password and paste it into notepad.

Now you have done all the steps which are necessary to upload files to googlecode.Now lets see how to upload files to googlecode using subversion

Part 2 : Downloading And Configuring SVN Client

We will upload files using Subversion client.We will use TortoiseSVN as our subversion client.Folloe below simple steps to upload files using subversion client.

• Go to TortoiseSVN
• Download by selecting your system type (32bit or 64bit)
• Install it
• Now open your main screen (desktop) 
• Right Click and navigate to Tortoise SVN > Settings

Click On Edit Button

Now a text document file will open which holds all the records for the mime-type of the files to be uploaded.At the end of the text document hit enter,copy and paste the below code and save it.
