After doing some googling I found that there aren’t many choices for svn plugins for gEdit. First you may be asking “Why the heck are you using gEdit!?” Well fact is I don’t like wysiwygs or big IDE’s that get in my way. With a few plugins I found that gEdit does just what I need. So you’re wondering what’s this plugin you refer to as the best svn plugin for gEdit? From what I’ve found so far it appears to be the terminal plugin for gEdit.
So now you think I’ve about lost my mind, but once you’ve used it a bit you find that its actually pretty good. Svn commands are dirt simple and would waist your time opening another program to do these commands. I’ve found that there are basically 4 svn commands that will get me through most situations:
- svn co [url]
- svn update
- svn commit -m ‘my message about my changes’
- svn add [path/to/file]
Of course there are more available commands, but for starters this covers a lot of territory. In case this isn’t what you were expecting, its exactly what you were looking for!

01|Apr|2009I failed to mention how to install it. If you’re using Ubuntu simply go to Synaptic and install the gEdit plugins. Then if you open gEdit and go to Preferences->Plugins you should then see the terminal plugin listed. I’m sure its pretty similar in other linux distros

04|Oct|2010Greate news, though I was already using the terminal plugin from the gedit-plugins package, I never thought about invoking svn through that terminal. I was using terminal for running instant php checks using php -a, an interactive session. This information about using svn through the gedit terminal is great. Thanks

04|Oct|2010Just thought I’d mention since you’re a gedit user I just put out a gedit plugin to minify javascript and css.

18|Jan|2011Great, this is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Coming from OSX-Textmate and using terminal for Git, moving to this kind of setup for the new company I have joined makes most sense. KISS.
