Why did I create two folders (branch and trunk) when downloading a github project in tortoise?

0

My problem is that when trying to download my application from the github repository through tortoise svn , two new folders are created inside the folder where I downloaded my application, the application is downloaded correctly, the folders that are created are trunk and branch . What I want is to prevent those folders from being created and to only download the folders from my application that is in github , since in the current way I can not keep my version control correctly.

The main github system is git, Subversion works in a different way. While git manages the branches separately to the working directory, Subversion uses the workingdirectory itself to manage the branches.

When you use the github bridge with subversion, the trunk folder contains the branch pointed to by the HEAD of git.

My recommendation if you are going to use github is to use it with a git client, instead of using subversion.
