Creating a Workspace for Sources that are Already Under AccuRev Version Control

Use this procedure if someone has already placed a set of development files under AccuRev version control on his or her own machine. This procedure creates a new workspace for your personal use, and updates the new workspace with the latest versions of the development files.
  1. Click Version Control > Checkout from Version Control > AccuRev or select Checkout from Version Control > AccuRev from the IntelliJ IDEA Quick Start menu. If you are using the accurev_login authentication mode, you might be required to log in at this time.
  2. On the Checkout From Version Control screen, specify an AccuRev depot, a stream within that depot, and a name for the new workspace. AccuRev automatically adds your username as a suffix to the name you enter (unless you type the suffix yourself). Click Next.
  3. On the Workspace Properties screen, accepting the defaults is often most appropriate. See the description of the Anchor command for a discussion of the exclusive file locking and anchor required features. Click Next.
  4. On the Workspace Directory screen, click the Browse button and navigate to an existing directory. The new workspace will be created as a subdirectory at the location you specify. The subdirectory name is the same as the workspace name you specified on the first wizard screen.
  5. IntelliJ IDEA automatically proceeds to create an IDE project in the new AccuRev workspace:

  6. Click Yes to complete the process.
