OK, have to ASK my way through SVN! Wore Google down.

I've been googling for the past few days in order to get this SVN thing going with CodeIgniter.

As far as I understand SVN, it's about having a directory in which you store a live 'copy' of some code, to have it update 'automatically' (probably by manually right clicking some client to make the update).

I need basic help with setting this up, as I keep running into dead ends here.

Where do I start?

1. I've downloaded a few pieces of different SVN software (like Tortoise).
2. I've searched the web for an URL to the CodeIgniter code (found this: http://dev.ellislab.com/svn/CodeIgniter/tags/v1.6.2/ in this article: http://codeigniter.com/news/codeigniter_...subversio/)

Links dead, or not working (maybe I just don't know what to do with it). It's no good in a browser, that is.

But this article assumes a lot of knowledge about SVN; like "Set up your source tree (not including the symlinks or CodeIgniter source) and add to your Subversion repo."

What the h... is a repo (yeah I know a reposiroty - but what do I do with it)

And it goes on: Add a svn link to CodeIgniter’s repo. But HOW?

Could SOMEONE pretty please, with sugar on top, tell (teach) me - step by step on step at at time - how I get a SVN client up and running, what to do with it to have a copy of CodeIgniter on my localhost?

I will REALLY APPREACIATE ANY help on this, as I've spent days now trying to get to grasp with SVN. No luck yet.

Hope for your help. As I'm desperate.

CodeIgniter isn't using subversion (SVN) anymore, they moved to bitbucket (http://bitbucket.org/ellislab/codeigniter) and switched to Mercurial.

There is a mercurial version of the Windows client called TortoiseHG. Or use an IDE (like PHPStorm or Netbeans) that includes a client.
