Binding a Project to Subversion

Use the following steps if you have already created a Lingo project and want to bind ("connect") it to Subversion. You can also automatically detect existing source control bindings if your project has been previously connected to Subversion.

Note The following steps show how to bind a project using the Lingo interface. It is also possible to bind a project outside of Lingo (e.g., using Git Bash). If you decide to do this, you should be aware of some additional aspects of source control, such as bind detection and disabling providers. See Bind Detection, Disabling Providers, and Unbinding Providers—Subversion.

What’s Noteworthy?

Tip If you are having difficulty binding your project, try binding to a brand new directory in your source control provider. You should also ensure that the directory on your local machine (and its parent directories) is not already mapped to source control, as this may cause issues with binding.

Note You can also bind a new Lingo project to source control while creating it. See Creating Projects.
