## 3.4. Checking Out a Copy

A download of a working copy from the repository is called a checkout, and done with `svn checkout`. This example checks out a copy of the latest version (`head`) of the main documentation tree:

`%` `svn checkout `https://svn0.us-west.FreeBSD.org/doc/head` `~/doc``

A checkout of the source code to work on manual pages is very similar:

`%` `svn checkout `https://svn0.us-west.FreeBSD.org/base/head` `~/src``
