What is CVS? The Concurrent Versions System (CVS), also known as the Concurrent Versioning System, is an open-source version control system CVS keeps track of all work and all changes in a set of files Allows several (potentially widely-separated) developers to collaborate CVS has become popular in the open source software world

CVS in a Nutshell CVS -- or Concurrent Versioning System -- is a system for managing simultaneous development of files. CVS –stores files in a central repository –Files are accessible to all users –Commands are given to "check out" a copy of a file for development –And after the mods, "commit" changes back to the repository. –Provides version control –Keeps a log of changes

Typical Uses of CVS cvs commit –In order to have access of a modified code by different users, the changes must be committed to the repository. cvs checkout –The user/developer would have the most recent code, once he/she checks out the code from the repository. cvs update –checks your working copies against the repository files and imports any changed files for you. cvs add –Files CVS doesn't know what to do with are reported with a question mark after the commit process and during a cvs update. They need to be added to the repository before CVS will recognize them. –Use cvs add filename to mark a new file for inclusion. CVS doesn't put the file in the repository until you do a cvs commit. –Directories are added with the same command. Files within a directory can't be added until the directory is added. cvs diff –Lists the differences between different versions of a file Restrict Access –allow specific users (i.e. your developers) to write to the CVS repository. IMPORTANT: DO NOT EDIT FILES IN THE REPOSITORY
