Getting to work with your Working copy

Check out a Working Copy

Your now ready to start some real work.

The first thing you will need to do is set up a directory in some quiet spot where you can hold your working copy of the source code and have some room and permissions to try stuff out.

Tip

There is a "Gotcha" you should know about: Don't build your working directory inside your LOCAL cvs repository.. You can do this but why make life more complex than it needs be? Just make a fresh directory somewhere clean under your HOME directory.

cd to your new tenforty/CVS-work directory and with your Internet connection all warmed up, issue the following (all one line):
 cvs -z3  -d:ext:Login-Name@cvs.tenforty.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/tenforty co tenforty-example

Substitute the head directory name of the branch of the CVS Tree you would like for tenforty-example.

What will happen goes like this:

This is your working copy of the tenforty-example source. Go for it it's all yours, do your worst...have fun.
