Once you start the client program, to log in to the server you need to specify your login name and password. Use your subversion login/password.
The client provides a command-line interface to the servers. A server program that interprets your commands, called shell, presents a prompt similar to
signifying that it is ready to accept your commands. In Unix, files are organized into directories (folders) which may contain subdirectories (subfolders). The shell keeps track of the current working directory to which default commands such as copy or create subdirectory apply. A useful command is ls that lists all the files and subdirectories of the current working directory. The navigation along the directory tree is done using cd command that changes the current working directory. The creation of files and subdirectories is done through command-line interface. See a quick guide to Unix commands below.
Once connected, you need to use an editor to create you program, use the g++ compiler to compile it, document your actions, then use subversion to submit it.
If the compiler outputs errors, you need to use the editor to remove them. If the program compiles successfully, you can execute it by typing the name of the executable at the prompt. For example, you can type this:
Note ./(dot slash) in front of the executable: it requests the shell to look for the executable in the current working directory.
To prove that you used Unix tools, as part of your project submission, you need to submit typescript file with the record of at least one successful compilation of your program (the execution of the compiler on your source code file).
The following command might come handy. It deletes a directory in the repository
