The Trac Browser

Table of Contents

The Trac browser can be used to browse directories, change logs and specific revisions of files stored in a subversion repository.

Directory entries are displayed in a list with sortable columns. The list entries can be sorted by name, size or date by clicking on the column headers. The sort order can be reversed by clicking on a given column header again.

The browser can be used to navigate through the directory structure by clicking on the directory names. Clicking on filenames on the other hand will display the files change log.

It's also possible to browse directories as they were in history, at any given repository revision.

The default behavior is to display the latest revision but another revision number can easily be selected using the form at the top of the page.

Note: The browser does not use the Subversion access configuration so if you restrict read access to part of the repository in Subversion that same restriction will not be in place in the Trac browser. (Support for this functionality is being worked on for future Trac versions)

RSS Support

The browser module supports RSS syndication to monitor changes to a file. To subscribe to an RSS feed of the revision log for a file, open its revision log in the browser and click the orange 'XML' icon at the bottom of the page. For more information on RSS support in Trac, see TracRss.
