Quick Tip: SVN over SSH using TortoisePlink
By Robert | July 29, 2007
This place is as good as any to jot down the following tip…
TortoiseSVN kicks ass. Of course, there are times when it’s more practical to use svn in the command line, but if your repository only talks to you over ssh, instead of going through hoops to configure OpenSSH, just use TortoisePlink. It’s part of the TortoiseSVN install.
Your Subversion config file is buried in
C:\Documents and Settings\<your usrname>\Application Data\Subversion\config
Using your favorite text editor, find the definition of ssh. It’ll probably be something like
ssh = $SVN_SSH
Change it to
ssh = TortoisePlink.exe
Painless!
