This is a quick start guide on How to update an existing WordPress Plugin that you have already published on WordPress Repository. Let us walkthrough the basics.
Lets begin with checkout
The first step is to get the source code from the WordPress Repository.
Create a new folder on your local device. This is where you will download the plugin source code. Name it very similar to the plugin name for easy retrieval.
Open your terminal and change directory to the newly created folder
Now perform ‘svn checkout’ using this code:
svn co https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/caption-single-product-imagesYou can get this url from your plugin’s svn page. For example, I have a plugin on WordPress repository which has folder name as: caption-single-product-images. So my url structure will be as shown in the screenshot below.
