After creating a Magento SVN repository, we realised that the whole trunk folder needs 586Mb.
Due to this huge volume we had issues doing the first checkout process in Aptana Eclipse.
These steps will show how to checkout the first version of the project and import to Aptana / Eclipse as a project.
1) Checkout through console the whole project.
$ cd /Applications/MAMP/htdocs $ mkdir MyProject $ svn checkout http://www.yoursite.com/svn/MyProject/ MyProject # [..] # A src/errors/404.php # A src/errors/503.php # A src/.settings # A src/.settings/org.eclipse.php.core.prefs # Checked out revision 2.
Note: If it fails execute svn checkout any time until you see the “Check out” message.
2) File >>> Import
3) Choose “Existing Folder As New Project”
Eclipse - Choose Project
4) Choose the folder of the project you have checked out and a name for it
Eclipse - Choose folder
At this point Eclipse / Aptana will refresh you project synchronising SVN cache. When it finish you will be able to work on your project with SVN feature in Aptana / Eclipse.
It takes a while to update SVN cache…
Aptana Update SVN Cache
But finally you’ll have your SVN commands under Team menu!
