In xcode 4 organizer there was a button "import", in xcode5 how do I import a project in my svn repository?
thanks
The question is a bit confusing so please advise if it's not exactly what you need (otherwise, feel free to accept the answer). The confusion is that the Xcode 4 workflow you describe is used to allow developers to manage repositories (svn or git). If you want to take an Xcode project and add it to an existing svn repository I am attaching links to answers for that question.
Adding Xcode Projects to SVN:
Stack overflow response
SVNBook
High-level Concepts (Xcode 4 Workflow in Xcode 5):
Tell Xcode 5 about a repository (it will auto detect the type of svn
or git)
Check-out the repository for insertion into a different project
Background:
In Xcode 4.6.3 there was a repository area of the organizer. This is where subversion and git projects were managed.
New Workflow:
The new location for this information in Xcode 5 is in Xcode > Preferences > Accounts > Repositories (menu on the left) > (+) Add Repository... (on the lower left)
Once selected one may enter a repository address (local or external):
And give the repository a directory name (credentials for many public read only repos are optional):
With Xcode 5, one can then download the repository to a target folder by going to menu Source Control > Check Out...
As part of the checkout wizard one will be authenticated to the repository:
Select a target folder to store the local repo:
Edit basic repo properties:

As far as I can see, you need to know the exact path to be able to check out a project. This seems like a step backwards.

I am part of a group of computer science students building their first project in Swift. We have attempted to connect GitHub with the XCode git configurations so we can all edit one project through pushing and pulling commits. We have little to no prior experience implementing GitHub with native applications such as XCode and online articles have not explained how we can create a project in XCode and connect it to GitHub so we can push and pull to Github and edit a 'master project' that we all have access to.
The closest we have gotten is doing XCode -> Preferences -> Accounts and adding new GitHub accounts(ours). However, the project does not show up when we open our GitHubs.
Does anyone know how we can make a collaborative project with GitHub and achieve the above goals? Please frame your answer in the context of us being totally unfamiliar with the process.
Thanks much!
You can put the project on GitHub from Xcode 9's source control navigator. Start by opening the source control navigator by choosing View > Navigators > Show Source Control Navigator or pressing Cmd-2.
Select the Remotes folder, right-click, and choose Create Remote on GitHub. On Xcode 10 the menu item is Create "ProjectName" Remote. A sheet similar to the following will open:
Since you added your GitHub account to Xcode, you can choose the account from the Account menu. If you hadn't added your GitHub account, you would choose Add a GitHub Account and enter your account name and password.
Give your repository a name and add a description if you want. Choose Public for the visibility unless you have a GitHub plan (paid or student) that allows private repositories. Click the Create button and your project will be on GitHub for the other people in your group to clone. They can clone the project by choosing Source Control > Clone.
Create a repository in GitHub (preferably private if you have a paid account) after you create the project head to terminal and navigate to project by:
cd path_to_project
then run these commands
git init
git commit -m "first commit"
git remote add origin https://github.com/UserName/RepoName.git
git push -u origin master
After that you can commit and push from source control menu in Xcode, then every student make a checkout so he can add his tasks and push.
I need to create a branch for SVN project in xcode. I need to know what is trunk, tags and branches under xcode working copies configure.
How do i create a branch in Xcode editor? or i need to do only in terminal?
Below is basic understanding for terms you required.
Trunk: The trunk is a directory where all the main development happens and is usually checked out by developers to work on the project.
Tags : The tags directory is used to store named snapshots of the project. Tag operation allows to give descriptive and memorable names to specific version in the repository.
For example, LAST_STABLE_CODE_BEFORE_EMAIL_SUPPORT is more memorable than
Repository UUID: 7ceef8cb-3799-40dd-a067-c216ec2e5247 and
Revision: 13
Branches: Branch operation is used to create another line of development. It is useful when you want your development process to fork off into two different directions. For example, when you release version 5.0, you might want to create a branch so that development of 6.0 features can be kept separate from 5.0 bug-fixes.
You could go through this tutorial for all basic concept and branching stuff.

Below is screenshot for creating new branch via XCode.
Can anyone please tell me if any possibility to commit every update to SVN from xcode 6.4 or Mac OS X 10.10 via terminal codes or if any reference links for configuration of Xcode6.4 project with svn..
Currently I am using This to commit or check out from svn but is I am facing bit complicated to get update via svn co 'path' --username name from svn ..If anyone are using SVN with Graphical user interface,please tell me the procedure or if any reference links
Maybe you can try svnX. I used this tool to commit and update my code before.
Well, I am not sure what you mean by "update every commit", but if all you need is to be able to commit modified files manually from the Xcode user interface, it seems to work for me without any plugins. In the Project Navigator, all modified files are marked with M letter. If I right-click such a file (or multiple files), I can select Source Control -> Commit "filename.m" option. See a screenshot:
Note, to get SVN integration with Xcode working, you should open Xcode -> Preferences -> Accounts tab and add your SVN account there (+ button in the bottom left corner -> Add Repository).
Hope this helps.
I've read and finish the tutorial of Git Source Control with Xcode in iOS 7 by Rey Wenderlich.
I know how to use source control on XCode 5. However, I don't know how to setup the repository so that my other MAC unit can access and use it. I'm searching all over google and none I can't seem to find anything that helps me.
Do you have any good tutorials out there for basic repository setup in XCode 5?
After you setted up your repository on XCode you need to push it to a server.
You can use BitBucket for that. Create an account on BitBucket then create a repository there.
For the sake of simplicity, after you create your repository you need to build your https link for your repository. Usually it is in the form :
https://YOUR_USERNAME#bitbucket.org/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_REPOSITORY.git
YOUR_REPOSITORY can be checked in the link at the top after you create your repository. Usually that link is in the form https://bitbucket.org/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_REPOSITORY.
Then go to your XCode and go to the Source Control and under "Working Copies" select your project then press configure.
After that add your bitbucket repository pressing "Remotes" and then pressing the "+" button and clicking "Add Remote".
The address in the following box is the one : https://YOUR_USERNAME#bitbucket.org/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_REPOSITORY.git .
Then do Source Control > Push.
On your other mac go again to the working copies > configure your_project. Add the BitBucket in the remote section and then do Source Control > Pull.
I have little experience using VSS before. For iOS development, I have installed Subversion on a remote Windows machine and accessing it from my Mac. And I have a few gray areas to clear up.
This is one of the tutorials I followed. But its written based
on an older version of XCode. The SCM tab in XCode preferences is
not in XCode 4.6. Is it completely removed or moved somewhere else?
The main reason to choose Subversion over Git was the ability to
lock files in Subversion. I know you can do it through the Terminal.
Is there a way to do it through XCode itself?
Say I checkout an XCode project to my local mac. And locked a
certain file. An another co-worker also checkout the same project to
edit that same file I locked. I read that the other person can also
edit that file but he cannot commit it back since it is locked. Is there a way to
notify the other people that a certain file is locked at the time of
checking out?
In the repository, I have created the standard tags, branches and
trunk folders. The project should be in trunk folder, right?
From the menu bar, choose Window > Organizer. Then in the Organizer window, choose the Repositories tab. The + button at the bottom left lets you add a new repository.
No.
You could try setting the svn:needs-lock property, I suppose, but you won't be able to do that from Xcode.
Yes.
