Synopsis

svn update [PATH ...]

svn update brings changes from the repository into your working copy. If no revision is given, it brings your working copy up-to-date with the HEAD revision. Otherwise, it synchronizes the working copy to the revision given by the --revision option.

For each updated item, Subversion prints a line starting with a specific character reporting the action taken. These characters have the following meaning:

A

Added

C

Conflict

D

Deleted

G

Merged

U

Updated

A character in the first column signifies an update to the actual file, while updates to the file’s properties are shown in the second column.

Alternate Names:

up

Changes:

Working copy

Accesses Repository:
