PLOrk CVS Primer:
Plork User:
- We will refer to the central plork directory on each machine as 'PLORK_DIR'
- All commands are in Terminal
Synchronizing to Repository:
> cd PLORK_DIR > cvs update -d
(the above synchronizes your directory to the most recent versions of all known files, including in suddirectories)
(if a conflict is there - perhaps you edited earlier version of a file that wasn't committed - cvs will attempt to merge the new with your existing. if it can't, an message will appear tell you there was a conflict and cvs marks the places in the file that have the conflict. you need to resolve it manually.)
Committing Changes to Repository:
Modified files (including recently added files) must be committed to change what is in the repository.
> cvs commit -m "put note here"
(the above will commit everything inside the current directory (that CVS knows about), including files in known subdirectories.
> cvs commit -m "file made more pleasant" foo.txt bar.txt
(the above commits only foo.txt and bar.txt)
Adding Files to the Repository:
In order for cvs to know about files, cvs add files and directories.
> cvs add a.txt b.ck c.jpg
(the above adds a.txt b.ck and c.jpg to the repository under the current directory. cvs add can only be done in known directories.)
IMPORTANT: added files still need to be committed!
> cvs add dir1
(works same way on directories - except directories, once added, do not have to be committed.)
That's all. Please ask/email/call one of us (for example, Ge) if you have questions.
