Checking out Google Code using Tortoise

Question

Can anyone explain to me how to use Tortoise to obtain this project?

Answer 1

That seems to be a Mercurial repository, so you'd have to use TortoiseHg, not TortoiseSVN.

Answer 2

• Download and install TortoiseHg.

• Create a directory somewhere with the name you want (e.g. google-api-java-client samples).

• Right click on it, and select TortoiseHg > Clone...

• On Source, copy paste the URL of the repository you want to clone, in your case https://code.google.com/p/google-api-java-client.samples/.

• Click Clone.
