Use guest subversion client to create repository to mounted directory (you won't have a full svn client but the repo can be used in an IDE on the host). You can share individual files, or you can share an entire folder. Now mount it under the name you configured it with: sudo mount -t vboxsf myFileName ~/destinationĪs an extra tip you can really exploit this feature to do things like: IOW if you can't write to file on host, the guest can't either.Īfter setting up the file to be shared create a destination if you don't have one: You need to add a shared folder using VirtualBox before you access it with the guest.
