Using a repository from the beginning

Sometimes you realize that a project will require the type of versioned content and remote access charateristic of a repository only after the project has been running for some weeks or months. Other times it may clear from inception that a repository will be required. If you know your project will require a repository from the beginning, then you can set everything up quite cleanly.

1. Set up your project repository on the remote server.

2. Check out a copy of the newly created, empty repository.

That's it. You can now add content to your local working copy and commit as usual.
