Redmine SVN guide
How can I access the SVN repository?
Use the repository URL shown in your Redmine project settings and check it out with a local SVN client such as TortoiseSVN.
Find the repository URL in Redmine
Repository access for SVN or Git is available over HTTP. If SSL is enabled, you can use HTTPS as well. This walkthrough uses TortoiseSVN for checkout on Windows.
How it works
Open your project settings in Redmine and copy the listed repository path. Use that URL in the checkout dialog of your SVN client.
- HTTP access is always available for repository checkout
- HTTPS is available when SSL is enabled in your hosting plan
- Credentials are requested by the client when required
