Hey Gabriel, thanks for the suggestion. I have been a strong proponent of Aptana in the past. It uses the power of Eclipse, making use of the multitudes of plugins available. However, the performance on OSX has been choppy at best. Coda feels lightweight, and though it is missing the biggest feature – Code Folding, it shines in other departments.

Aptana Pro is a far superior application. And it costs the same as Coda.

I recently purchased Coda, and it looks like Im forced to purchase Versions if I want anything close to the support I get with Aptana. But I like trying out new things… so we shall see…

Lisa, I realized my link points nowhere since MrNovell’s site went down. Here’s an alternate guide I followed to set up an SVN repository. Do go through the comments for additional tips/pointers.

Hey Alex, Thanks for the input… I have since moved to Cornerstone. I found it to be a better alternative – due to the lack of instant updates in the Versions, of files updated elsewhere.

Hey thanks a lot for this post!

Good idea about Versions, it’s a great program, I can’t believe I used to work without this setup in the past.

One thing I’d like to add to your post is that the URL for the SVN repository can be found by pulling up the INSPECTOR for a particular repository.

It usually looks like

file://localhost/Volumes/HD/PATH_TO_REPO

and it does not need a password by default as it would seem.
