To check if a repository is from SVN or Git, you can typically look for certain files or directories that are associated with each version control system.


For SVN repository:

  1. Look for a directory named ".svn" in the root directory of the repository. This directory contains metadata and information related to the SVN repository.


For Git repository:

  1. Look for a directory named ".git" in the root directory of the repository. This directory contains metadata and information related to the Git repository.


You can also check the URL of the repository or inspect the configuration files to determine if it is from SVN or Git. Additionally, you can try running version control commands such as "svn info" or "git status" to see if they return any information, which can help determine the type of repository.
