🌸 OVERVIEW 🌸

okay so first things first, let's talk about SVNKit. SVNKit is a pure Java(TM) version of Subversion. not "Java-ish", not "Java-flavored", pure. she's the real deal, no cap. ✨

now, Subversion? it's a version control system, which means it lets you keep old versions of files and directories (usually source code, obviously, that's the main character use case), and it keeps a log of who, when, and why changes occurred, etc. — like CVS, RCS or SCCS, if you're old enough to remember those or you've been down a wiki rabbit hole at 2am. 🦋

here's the part that actually eats: Subversion keeps a single copy of the master sources. a single copy. and that copy is called the source repository. she holds all the information you need to permit extracting previous versions of those files at any time. it's giving time capsule. it's giving archive. it's giving "wait, what did this file look like in march" and the answer is literally right there. 😭💖

want more deets? for additional information, see http://svnkit.com/. go on, click it, she's waiting.

and if you want information about Subversion in a broad sense, that can be found at http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ and http://subversion.tigris.org. two whole sources, no gatekeeping here. 📚✨

also!! real quick, before you go spiraling — run jsvnsync help to access the built-in tool documentation. it's literally right there inside the tool. the way that's so convenient honestly. 🙈
