Importing a project into a repository

Once you have CVS installed and configured, the next step is to import a project into the repository. This creates a directory for the project, copies the files into the repository and sets up the information that will be used to track the project as it gets modified during the development process.

Syntax to import a project: cvs [ -d repository_path_name ] import name_of_project vendor_tag release_tag If CVS resides in remote machine repository location is given by: CVSROOT=:pserver:<username>@<computer name>:<repository>
