Invoking CVS

The format of a CVS invocation is:

$ cvs <command>

where command can be: update, commit, import etc. For example, you can use

$ cvs update

Accessing A Repository

Before you can do anything, you must tell CVS the location of the repository you'll be accessing. This isn't a concern if you already have a working copy checked out - any working copy knows what repository it came from, so CVS can automatically deduce the repository for a given working copy. So for the first time, you need to tell CVS explicitly where to go. This is done with the -d global option followed by the path to the repository. For example:

$ cvs -d /ubc/cs/home/y/yingyin/GanttChart <command>

You can also change the environment variable CVSROOT to avoid typing -d <repository location>:

• edit ~/csh_init/environment with a text editor
• add the following line: setenv CVSROOT <repository location>
• logout and log back in.
