Installing client tools for a collaborative environment
To collaborate within a development environment, a Version Control server and client tools are required. The server stores all the code, and allows developers to check a code in and out. The client tools enable the developers to interact with the server from their workstations.
Getting ready
In order to upload information into the environment, you will need a client tool. For this, Tortoise is the most well-known. A download is available from the website in either 32-bit or 64-bit — http://www.tortoisesvn.net.
