svn checkout via shell script

Submitted by sandip on Mon, 03/30/2009 - 23:19.

Very often development servers only have self-signed certificate for ssl connection. I've recently had to create a script that would checkout from a https svn repository that would fail with "Server certificate verification failed: issuer is not trusted..." . Below is a workaround used to temporarily trust the certificate.

svn --username $SVN_USER --password $SVN_PASS --no-auth-cache checkout ${REPO_URL}/${REPO_PATH} $REPO_PATH <<EOF 2>/dev/null
t
EOF
