Grunt SVN switching support

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.4

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-svn-switch --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-svn-switch');

The "svn_switch" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named svn_switch to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  svn_switch: {
    options: {
      // Task-specific options go here.
    },
    your_target: {
      // Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
    },
  },
});

Usage Examples

You need to specify svn_target command line option when invoking task. The svn_target option is a target, related to repository option URL, that specifies to which bramch/tag or trunk switch to.

grunt.initConfig({
  svn_switch: {
    options: {
      repository:  'http://somedomain.com/svn/myproject/',
      username:    'my_username',
      password:    'my_password'
    },
    default: {
    },
  },
});
