3.4. Checking Out a Copy

A download of a working copy from the repository is called a checkout, and done with svn checkout. This example checks out a copy of the latest version (head) of the main documentation tree:

% svn checkout https://svn0.us-west.FreeBSD.org/doc/head ~/doc

A checkout of the source code to work on manual pages is very similar:

% svn checkout https://svn0.us-west.FreeBSD.org/base/head ~/src

All FreeBSD documents are available for download at http://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/doc/

Questions that are not answered by the documentation may be sent to <[email protected]>.
