Build and Deploy files in multiple folders in SVN into multiple folder in destination server

Question

I am looking to automate a manual copy paste activity using SVN, Jenkins and Urban Code Deploy.

We have now created a SVN repo to have the same directory structure of the Unix server Dir structure. The challenge is, I cannot do a clean deploy as I only have to pick file which is changed in any of the folder and place it in the respective folder on the Unix server.

I am not able to figure out how to create a Jenkins job to pick files from multiple folders and create one package and deploy using Urban Code Deploy to multiple folders on the destination server.

a   
|------b
|   --------b
c
|-------d
    --------v
        --------m

This is just an illustration of the folder structure, in SVN and Unix server. Any help is appreciated

Answer 1

You can pick only the modified files for a particular revision using the following commands and check them out to their respective directories in your Unix server:

svn checkout https://org.svn.host/path/to/your/file /path/to/target_dir --depth empty --revision <revisionNumber>

cd /path/to/target_dir

svn up file_you_want

Answer 2

I have made one PowerShell Script to pick up files from multiple folders. I also do the same thing for some Jenkins projects. So I hope it will help you. Please free feel to ask any help to understand the below script and/or how to use this script.

Script :-
