4 <h3>How to use CVS</h3>
7 If you want to know all the gory details, you will want to visit
8 <a href="http://www.cvshome.org/">the CVS main web page</a>.<p>
9 For the impatient, the following is probably about all you need to know:
13 <dt><pre>cvs checkout -c</pre>
14 <dd>Will list the modules available for checkout
15 <dt><pre>cvs checkout < module name ></pre>
16 <dd>Will checkout the named module
17 <dt><pre>cvs co < module name ></pre>
19 <dt><pre>cvs update</pre>
21 <dd>Updates your local archive so it is in sync with the repository
22 -- your local updates are left intact. Tries to merge upstream updates
23 into your local updates. You will see the following tags when it is
24 updating your local repository: C means conflict, U means update,
25 P means patched, and M means modified.
28 <dt><pre>cvs update < file name ></pre>
29 <dd>Same thing but for just the named file(s)/directory(s).
30 <dt><pre>cvs commit</pre>
31 <dd>Will check in all your work.
32 <dt><pre>cvs add < file name ></pre>
34 <dd>Adds the named file/directory into CVS
35 <dt><pre>cvs remove < file name ></pre>
36 <dd>Removes the named file/directory from the upstream repository.
37 <dt><pre>cvs rm < file name ></pre>
39 <dt><pre>cvs log < file name ></pre>
