| | 4 | The Trac repository browser can be used to browse specific revisions of directories |
| | 5 | and files stored in the repositories associated with the Trac environment. |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | ''(since 0.12)'': |
| | 8 | At the top-level of the repository browser is the '''Repository Index''', |
| | 9 | listing all the configured repositories. |
| | 10 | Each repository has a name which is used as a path prefix in a |
| | 11 | "virtual" file hierarchy encompassing all the available repositories. |
| | 12 | One of the repositories can be configured with an empty name; this is the default repository. When such a default repository is present, its top-level files and directories |
| | 13 | are also listed, in a '''Default Repository''' section placed before the |
| | 14 | repository index. If the default repository is the only repository associated |
| | 15 | with the Trac environment the '''Repository Index''' will be omitted ^[#note-multirepos (1)]^. |
| 14 | | by clicking on the directory names. Clicking on a file name will show |
| 15 | | the contents of the file. Clicking on the revision number of a file or |
| 16 | | directory will take you to the TracRevisionLog for that file. |
| 17 | | Note that there's also a ''Revision Log'' navigation link that will do |
| 18 | | the same for the path currently being examined. |
| | 23 | by clicking on the directory names. |
| | 24 | Clicking on a file name will show the contents of the file. |
| | 25 | Clicking on the revision number of a file or directory will take |
| | 26 | you to the TracRevisionLog for that file. |
| | 27 | Note that there's also a ''Revision Log'' navigation link that will do the |
| | 28 | same for the path currently being examined. |
| | 29 | Clicking on the ''diff'' icon after revision number will display the changes made |
| | 30 | to the files modified in that revision. |
| | 31 | Clicking on the ''Age'' of the file - will take you to that changeset in the timeline. |
| | 38 | The color bar next to the ''Age'' column gives a visual indication of the age |
| | 39 | of the last change to a file or directory, following the convention that |
| | 40 | '''[[span(style=color:#88f,blue)]]''' is oldest and '''[[span(style=color:#f88,red)]]''' |
| | 41 | is newest, but this can be [TracIni#browser-section configured]. |
| | 42 | |
| | 43 | At the top of the browser page, there's a ''Visit'' drop-down menu which you can use |
| | 44 | to select some interesting places in the repository, for example branches or tags. |
| | 45 | This is sometimes referred to as the ''browser quickjump'' facility. |
| | 46 | The precise meaning and content of this menu depends on your repository backend. |
| | 47 | For Subversion, this list contains by default the top-level trunk directory |
| | 48 | and sub-directories of the top-level branches and tags directories |
| | 49 | (`/trunk`, `/branches/*`, and `/tags/*`). This can be [TracIni#svn-section configured] |
| | 50 | for more advanced cases. |
| | 51 | |
| | 52 | If you're using a Javascript enabled browser, you'll be able to expand and |
| | 53 | collapse directories in-place by clicking on the arrow head at the right side of a |
| | 54 | directory. Alternatively, the [trac:TracKeys keyboard] can also be used for this: |
| | 55 | - use `j` and `k` to select the next or previous entry, starting with the first |
| | 56 | - `o` ('''o'''pen) to toggle between expanded and collapsed state of the selected |
| | 57 | directory or for visiting the selected file |
| | 58 | - `v` ('''v'''iew, '''v'''isit) and `<Enter>`, same as above |
| | 59 | - `r` can be used to force the '''r'''eload of an already expanded directory |
| | 60 | - `a` can be used to directly visit a file in '''a'''nnotate (blame) mode |
| | 61 | - `l` to view the '''l'''og for the selected entry |
| | 62 | If no row has been selected using `j` or `k` these keys will operate on the entry under the mouse. |
| | 63 | |
| | 64 | |
| | 65 | For the Subversion backend, some advanced additional features are available: |
| | 66 | - The `svn:needs-lock` property will be displayed |
| | 67 | - Support for the `svn:mergeinfo` property showing the merged and eligible information |
| | 68 | - Support for browsing the `svn:externals` property |
| | 69 | (which can be [TracIni#svn:externals-section configured]) |
| | 70 | - The `svn:mime-type` property is used to select the syntax highlighter for rendering |
| | 71 | the file. For example, setting `svn:mime-type` to `text/html` will ensure the file is |
| | 72 | highlighted as HTML, regardless of the file extension. It also allows selecting the character |
| | 73 | encoding used in the file content. For example, if the file content is encoded in UTF-8, |
| | 74 | set `svn:mime-type` to `text/html;charset=utf-8`. The `charset=` specification overrides the |
| | 75 | default encoding defined in the `default_charset` option of the `[trac]` section |
| | 76 | of [TracIni#trac-section trac.ini]. |

| | 79 | but I think the other items could be changed also |
