What is AnkhSVN?
AnkhSVN is an open-source Subversion extension and plugin for Microsoft Visual Studio. It integrates version control capabilities into the IDE, allowing developers to access and manage their Subversion repositories and perform version control tasks without leaving Visual Studio.
Some of the key features of AnkhSVN include:
- Commit, update, revert, diff, log and other Subversion operations accessible within Visual Studio
- Synchronize files or projects with the Subversion repository
- Resolve conflicts between local copies and the repository
- View history and diffs within the IDE using Visual Studio's interface
- Supports Visual Studio 2005 through 2022
- Lightweight extension integrated into Visual Studio's interface
- Reduces context switches and improves productivity
AnkhSVN is commonly used by .NET developers working on Windows to streamline interaction with Subversion repositories as part of their development workflow. It allows them to access version control capabilities directly within the IDE they use to write and build code, rather than needing to access external SVN tools.
TortoiseSVN, Microsoft Visual SourceSafe, Microsoft Team Foundation Server, ZenTao, VisualSVN, kdeSVN, Syncro SVN Client, RapidSVN, Slik SVN, SourceAnywhere are some alternatives to AnkhSVN.
