Create Component Directory

HCM will create the component directory and place it in an existing SVN repository. This top level directory can be anywhere. However, it is commonly placed either at the root or under the tags directory.

Creating a component directory

Use the create subcommand to create the component directory in a repository:

$ hcm create http://svn/my_repo/components
INFO:Creating component directory http://svn/my_repo/components
INFO:Add "http://svn/my_repo/components" to the HCM_URL_PATHS environment variable.

HCM will create any level of hierarchy necessary to create the given URL path.

Warning

If the URL already exists, an error will be reported

Adding the URL to the HCM_URL_PATHS environment variable will give HCM visibility to those repositories.

$ export HCM_URL_PATHS=http://svn/acme/components,$HCM_URL_PATHS

Note

The separator is a comma and not a colon.
