Title: CVS Help Post by: Oy on December 13, 2002, 12:26:01 am Trying to avoid the "you idiot" bombing, I was wondering if I could get some help with CVS. I've never used it, and am not sure how it works.
Title: Re: CVS Help Post by: Nic. on December 13, 2002, 01:40:11 am Don't worry, CVS is so easy, even a developer can use it. :P
First things first, you'll want to get some client software from http://cvshome.org I'd personally recommend the command-line version for everything, but if you're addicted to GUIs on win32, then I'd highly recommend TortoiseCVS. It integrates mostly-seamlessly with Windows Explorer, and is brain-dead-simple to use/figure out. After that, all you need to do is follow the instructions here: http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=59452 Title: Re: CVS Help Post by: TD on December 13, 2002, 04:59:19 am Hey do you know how to make unified diffs with TortoiseCVS Nic?

That'll learn me :) Right-click on the file you want to make a udiff for. In the Context menu, choose CVS -> Make Patch Choose a destination filename for the patch, TortoiseCVS should create a udiff at that location.

Thanks Title: Re: CVS Help Post by: ErekLich on December 13, 2002, 10:24:27 pm There are like 15 different files on the cvshome download pages!
Which one do I want, Nic.? Title: Re: CVS Help Post by: Nic. on December 13, 2002, 11:13:22 pm You want "the right one for you", naturally. ;)
The "historical download pages" are far less ambiguous: <http://www.cvshome.org/downloads.html?JServSessionIdservlets=al0vhpbxw1> or <http://www.tortoisecvs.org> if you prefer candy-coated win32 graphical interfaces.. |
