title: Tortoise SVN: Check-In and Check-Out
body: <p>... or get latest and commit files, if you're a GitHub person like I am.</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://tortoisesvn.net/docs/release/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-dug-commit.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">I have read the documentation from TortoiseSVN about checking in files</a>.  They recommend the standard practice of getting the latest files before checking-in a file.  I agree.  Here's what they write:</p>
  
  <p>You can either use <code>TortoiseSVN → Update</code> directly. Or you can use <code>TortoiseSVN → Check for Modifications</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Sounds great, except this doesn't exist.  When I right-click on my folder I have two TortoiseSVN related options: <code>SVN Checkout ...</code> and <code>TortoiseSVN</code>.  Under the latter item, I see more sub-options, such as <code>Repo-browser</code>, <code>Export</code>, <code>Create repository here</code>, <code>Import</code>, <code>Settings</code>, <code>Help</code>, <code>About</code>. </p>
  
  <p>Even when I go to the <code>Repo-browser</code> and right click, I see nothing with <code>Update</code> or <code>Check for modifications</code>.  These are the instructions, but I either have a much different version, or something else is wrong.</p>
  
  <p>So, step-by-step, how do I check in an update.  Here are the steps I did to set up the original folder, so you can see exactly where I am in the process so you know what I need to do next.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Create a folder for the repository.</li>
  <li>Right click and select <code>TortoiseSVN</code> => <code>Create repo here</code></li>
  <li>I receive a pop-up box that says <code>Repository Created</code> and I clicked <code>Start Repobrowswer</code>.</li>
  <li>Once I am in the <code>Repobrowser</code>, I right-click and select <code>Checkout</code>, fill in the URL of the repo and the checkout directory, then click <code>OK</code>.  It loads all the items from the repository.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Good, so I have all the items.  Now, I need to check-in a folder with 6 files.  How?</p>
