Working Knowledge - CVS

These are a few useful commands that I keep forgetting.

To check out a module:

cvs -d ~/Documents/repository_cvs/ co polyworld

• ~/Documents/repository_cvs/ is the path to the repository.
• polyworld is the name of the module.
  

To checkout a module over a network:

cvs -d:ext:username@polyworld.cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/polyworld checkout polyworld

• Note the user name and address between the colons.
  

To commit:

cvs commit -m "message"

• You should put your reason for your commit in the message.
