VisualSVN is a Subversion integration package for Visual Studio.

VisualSVN is a Visual Studio version control plug-in. VisualSVN seamlessly integrates the Subversion version control system into the Visual Studio IDE and provides unique source control features to enhance software development productivity.

VisualSVN tracks all file operations you perform in Visual Studio and properly reflects them to Subversion. You can code, design, debug and deploy with VisualSVN as your silent partner that safeguards your source code without being distracted to external client applications.

VisualSVN plug-in supports all Visual Studio versions starting with VS2005 and including the latest VS2017:

  • Visual Studio 2017 (all editions)
  • Visual Studio 2015 (all editions except Express)
  • Visual Studio 2013 (all editions except Express)
  • Visual Studio 2012 (all editions except Express)
  • Visual Studio 2010 (all editions except Express)
  • Visual Studio 2008 (all editions except Express)
  • Visual Studio 2005 (all editions except Express)
