Programming Reference:BCI2000 Source Code

Version Management

The BCI2000 source code is managed with the help of Subversion, an open-source cross-platform versioning tool widely used in various kinds of projects.

Subversion (SVN) uses the HTTP-based WebDAV protocol, so even web browsers may be used as clients, although a true SVN client software is required to access all features of the versioning system.

Browsing the Source Code Repository Online

Online viewing, and comparing different versions of all source code files, is possible with a web browser (http://www.bci2000.org/tracproj/browser). (If you get a message about "viewing privileges", click the "login" link at the top right to log in.)

TortoiseSVN Client

For Win32 platforms, we recommend TortoiseSVN, a comfortable-to-use SVN client integrated into the Explorer shell.
