How to setup Assembla Subversion for private project - new to source control

I've used source control in the past to commit code, in 2009 when I was working with .NET framework 2.0. I have been away from programming for around 3 years. Now I am trying to do some Win 8 programming in C# and need to setup source control for my private project.

I came across Visual SVN for VS 2012 which integrates source control within VS. Can anybody please guide me to a doc which gives me step by step instructions on how to setup SVN for my private project? I've though of using Assembla because it seems free.

  1. Download and install Tortoise SVN - http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads.html
  2. Install Visual SVN
  3. Register a new Assembla Account
  4. Setup Assembla Repository (Note that the free account only gives you 500MB of space)

After you have set up your repository, make a note of your URL of your repo (e.g. https://subversion.assembla.com/svn/RooiWillie/)

Next you need to determine a space on your hard drive where you will place your source (e.g. C:\Subversion\RooiWillie). Create the directory (if you have not yet) and right click. Highlight TortoiseSVN and click Repo-Browser.

Enter the URL of your repo.

You will be prompted for your credentials, just use your Assembla credentials.

And that is it, you can now add files (your VS2012 solution/s) to your repository and check out a working copy.

After you have installed VisualSVN, you will notice a VisualSVN menu in Visual Studio. It piggybacks onto Tortoise, so the dialogs will be similar. You should be able to get your way around.

A good resource will be the tortoise docs:
