new checkout

Downloads all files of a tst object to a local directory. If no directory is provided, then a new directory is created and used. If the object is an assignment, the id of the assignment must be used. If it is an activity, its name can be used. To use the local directory, use . as directory. The command, however, will refuse to work in the directory of another tst object.

Syntax

tst checkout <id or name> [directory]

Update an existing object

If you have an existing directory containing a tst object, type tst checkout within the directory to update its contents. The command will not, however, overwrite your files if you have changed them. In this case, checkout will notify the user about the changes and indicate the possible actions.
