------------------------

When using |RCE|, you will be working with |git|, |svn| or |hg| |repos| from the
command line or using a GUI client such as Tortoise, Tower or SourceTree.

|RCE| uses a standard |git|, |svn| and |hg| protocols. So all tools that
can interact with there protocols are supported, including Eclipse or PyCharm
plugins.


If you have never used either before, the following information should
help you set up your local machine so that you can sync changes with the
|RCE| server.

All of the following instructions assume you have a |RCE| account,
and you can access your |repos| from the web interface.

   |svn| |repo| management is currently only available from the web interface.
