Help me with CVS/unix programming

[Deeko]

Ok, this class is really starting to piss me off. We don't talk about anything thats in the assignments. Anyway...

I wrote a whole bunch of little programs for an assignment. Now I gotta use CVS....I have to create a repository, create a module, and then import or check in or something all 8 of these little programs, alter them, and update or whatever the hell you do with CVS. Any help?

 

it's been a while since i've used the version control system...or even unix for that matter

but when i did, there were tons of HOWTOs and guides on google

read some simple CVS online tutorial, its kinda hard to post an answer to what all you need to do


CVS or for that matter any change management systems are more or less similar

if you have used any 1 such system such as Clearcase or SCCS or something you should be familiar with the concept of repositiory/vobs, checking in/edput checkout/edget etc. so learning to use CVS is just a matter of knowing the commands

you could cheat and use wincvs/gcvs
there's really no point to use the command line cvs that I've found...

 

30-second CVS primer. By me.

1) Create a repos:

you@host:~/src/project: cvs -d /path/to/repos repos-name init

2) Import your code:

you@host:~/src/project: cvs import -m 'my first import' project-name my-vendor init

3) Checkout to a sandbox:

you@host:~/src/project: cd ~/src; mkdir cvs-projects; cd cvs-projects

you@host:~/src/cvs-projects: cvs co project-name

4) Work on code... When done with work, commit:

you@host:~/src/cvs-projects: cvs commit -m 'made some changes'

Simple? Not really. Haha, good luck, n00b!
