So, this last week as I pondered the things I needed to do to catch up in this class, I realized that the A-Team had never uploaded our FOSS project source code to the subversion repository! I think we as a team got caught up in doing the work and just forgot about working with subversion, but now that we know what specific activity we will be working with I decided it was time to commit it to the 462Playground.
It was actually kind of fun to go back and play with subversion again. I was reminded of how much I like subversion and how I wanted to set up a server on an external hard drive for backing up my computer. But back to this project...
Like I said, it was fun, but it was also kind of tricky! I had to go back and look up my login info, the right commands and all that stuff. I also new that I needed to remove any .git files from my current directory, but when I ran the ls -la command to find any hidden files, there weren't any! That surprised me, but I went with it.
As I added a folder for our team, filled it with the appropriate files, and committed the changes I had a great sense of accomplishment, even though it only took a few minutes. Now I just need to remind my team to remove what they have already downloaded and to instead use our new "source code" from subversion! I think this will also help us to keep up with all the changes that we make as we begin working on the code - making me even more optimistic about our success in this endeavor!
