Updating and Committing

The core function and idea behind resource sharing is sharing changes you have done to the project on your local machine (committing) and downloading the changes made by others (updating).

Synchronize Perspective

To add the Synchronize perspective, click Open Perspective, select Other, and choose Team Synchronizing from the list. A corresponding icon will appear in the Perspective Switching Panel, and the perspective will be changed to Synchronize.

The Synchronize can show local and remote changes on all added repositories. This is determined by the selected viewing mode:

Incoming mode. Shows only incoming changes.
Outgoing mode. Shows only outgoing changes.
Incoming/outgoing mode. Shows incoming and outgoing changes, including conflicts.
Conflict mode. Shows only conflicts.

Committing Changes

This section describes how to commit changes to one or several files in SVN.
