## Name

svn export — Export a clean directory tree.

## Synopsis

    svn export [-r REV] URL[@PEGREV] [PATH]

    svn export [-r REV] PATH1[@PEGREV] [PATH2]

## Description

The first form exports a clean directory tree from the repository specified by `URL`—at revision `REV` if it is given; otherwise, at `HEAD`, into `PATH`. If `PATH` is omitted, the last component of the `URL` is used for the local directory name.

The second form exports a clean directory tree from the working copy specified by `PATH1` into `PATH2`. All local changes will be preserved, but files not under version control will not be copied.

## Alternate names

None

## Changes

Local disk

## Accesses repository

Only if exporting from a URL

## Options

    --depth ARG
    --force
    --ignore-externals
    --native-eol EOL
    --quiet (-q)
    --revision (-r) REV

## Examples

Export from your working copy (doesn't print every file and directory):

    $ svn export a-wc my-export
    Export complete.

Export directly from the repository (prints every file and directory):

    $ svn export file:///var/svn/repos my-export
    A  my-export/test
    A  my-export/quiz
    …
    Exported revision 15.

When rolling operating-system-specific release packages, it can be useful to export a tree that uses a specific EOL character for line endings. The `--native-eol` option will do this, but it affects only files that have `svn:eol-style = native` properties attached to them. For example, to export a tree with all CRLF line endings (possibly for a Windows `.zip` file distribution):

    $ svn export file:///var/svn/repos my-export --native-eol CRLF
    A  my-export/test
    A  my-export/quiz
    …
    Exported revision 15.

You can specify `LR`, `CR`, or `CRLF` as a line-ending type with the `--native-eol` option.
