How do I set up an online repository using TortoiseSVN (Windows)?

I'm trying to set up a repository that is accessible to other members of my project over the internet using TortoiseSVN.

Right now, we're working with the mindset that we might want to sell the finished product eventually, which means whatever we use needs to be free for commercial use.

I was hoping someone on here would be kind enough to either provide a step-by-step or point me to one that would explain what I need to do to create a repository that can be accessed over the internet.

Thank you in advance.

TortoiseSVN is a Subversion client; you need a server to make your repositories accessible remotely. While you can use Subversion locally without any server, if you want to make your repositories available to other team members remotely then you have to deploy a Subversion server or use some online Subversion hosting service.

Therefore, there are numerous options:

  • Install Subversion server on your LAN and open it to the Internet,
  • Install Subversion server on some cloud platform such as Microsoft Azure or Amazon AWS. For example, here is an instruction on installing VisualSVN Server on Azure: https://mictorino.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/windowsazure_visualsvnquickstart.pdf.
  • Use hosted Subversion, such as SlikSVN, Assembla, Beanstalk, Unfuddle, whatever. There are a lot such services.
