How to Download Prodigy via SVN

Keeping your copy of the Prodigy framework up to date before it hits the WordPress.org/extend/themes repository might be a little hard. Hearing about a new release, downloading the zip, deleting the old version, and uploading the new version isn’t exactly what I would call easy.

So, if you’re savvy enough to use SVN, getting updates is as easy as a single command via SSH.

Here’s how to checkout the latest version of Prodigy at any time:

1. Navigate to your wp-content/themes directory
2. Type the following command to checkout:

svn co http://prodigy-theme.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ prodigy

Once you’ve got the initial checkout done, you can do the following to keep it up to date:

1. Navigate to your wp-content/themes/prodigy directory
2. Type the following command to update:

svn up

That’s it! SVN will replace any files that need updating, and you’ll be good to go.

If you would like to browse the source of Prodigy, you can do so by checking it out over at Google code.
