CVS Quickstart Guide
CVS Usage
The first step is to log into the remote CVS repository. You will need to set your CVSROOT environment variable to the remote pserver connection. For example: # export CVSROOT=:pserver:username@cvs.ittc.ku.edu:2401/projects/cvs/test # cvs login Logging in to :pserver:username@cvs.ittc.ku.edu:2401/projects/cvs/test CVS password: ******** Checkout Repository # cd /tmp # export CVSROOT=:pserver:username@cvs.ittc.ku.edu:2401/projects/cvs/test # cvs co test # cd test Check In Changes # cvs co test # cd test # vi file1 # cvs ci file1 Importing into Repository # cd /tmp # mkdir test1 # cd test1 # touch File1 # cvs import test1 INITIAL start Adding Directories # cd /tmp # cvs co test # cd test # mkdir New # cvs add New Adding Files # cd /tmp # cvs co test # cd test # touch file1 # touch file2 # cvs add file* # cvs commit -m "Added new files" Tagging Files # cd /tmp # cvs co test # cd test # cvs tag Stage1 file1 Checkout Tagged Files # cd /tmp # cvs co test # cd test # cvs co -r Stage1 test Remove Tag from Files # cd /tmp # cvs co test # cd test # cvs tag -d Stage1 file1 Checkout Fresh Copy # cd /tmp # rm -rf test # cvs co test Additional commands and information can be found in the [CVS Manual].
