WORKING IN YOUR SANDBOX: ------------------------ * You cd and edit files in your sandbox as appropriate. When you want to commit your changes to the repository do: > cvs commit [file] > [sync_binary_dirtree.sh] (Obsolete) It is only necessary to run sync_binary_dirtree.sh if the binary repository has been updated or new dirs have been added to the source tree. You will be asked for any change notes. * To resynchronize your sandbox with the repository do: > cvs update -d (the -d will download new directories as well) See the cvs man page for all switches and options. * To add a file to the repository, first create the file in your sandbox and then do from the dir containing the file: > cvs add filename > cvs commit If you're adding a binary file, use the -kb option: > cvs add -kb file.doc If you forgot to use the -kb at add time, you can later do: > cvs admin -kb file.doc * To remove a file from the repository, first remove the file in your sandbox and then do from the dir containing the file: > cvs remove filename > cvs commit * To determine which files are up-to-date and which need to be committed: > cvs status [file] > cvs status -v [file] (see status and tagging info) * To see the revision history of a file: > cvs log sum_svc.c * To retrieve a static, read only copy of a previous version: > cvs update -r 1.2 filename * To revert your sandbox file to a previous revision: > cvs update -j sandbox_revision -j previous_revision GUI: ---------------------- There is a web page GUI at: http://helios.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/cvsroot/ Nice cvs GUI (linux4) at: xim:/usr/bin/lincvs
