Integrating Subversion (SVN) with Nautilus

Recently I switched from Windows to Ubuntu Linux. While using Windows, I was using Tortoise SVN as Subversion client. I was searching for an equivalent tool to use in Ubuntu. I found a page in www.willsimpson.org which explains how to integrate Subversion and Nautilus. Nautilus is a file manager (like Explorer in Windows) in Ubuntu Linux using GNOME. One of the interesting feature of Nautilus is its nautilus scripts. While using Nautilus, a groups of scripts are available anytime on the right-click of mouse. Some of its FAQs can be found here. Here is the procedure on how to add Subversion functionality to Nautilus similar to Tortoise SVN in Windows. This uses nautilus scripts feature. In a terminal sudo aptitude search nautilus-script
p nautilus-script-audio-convert - A nautilus audio converter script p nautilus-script-collection-svn - Nautilus subversion management scripts p nautilus-script-debug - Simple nautilus debugging script p nautilus-script-manager - A simple management tool for nautilus scripts
sudo apt-get install nautilus-script-collection-svn
The following NEW packages will be installed: nautilus-script-collection-svn nautilus-script-manager
nautilus-script-manager
Usage: nautilus-script-manager {enable script-name|disable script-name|list-enabled|list-available}
nautilus-script-manager list-available
Subversion
nautilus-script-manager enable Subversion
Please restart nautilus to get an updated menu. (I didn’t need to restart nautilus)
