The approach here is to represent and explain a working session in the first person. (Talking to myself again)
First I will need a Working Copy of The CVS Module. I only need do this once for any Module.
Example 1. Checking Out a Working Copy
[A-Hacker@work]$ cvs -z3 -d:ext:A-Hacker@cvs.tenforty.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/tenforty co tenfortytenforty-examplename A-Hacker@cvs.tenforty.sourceforge.net's password: <PassWord4Login> |
cvs server: Updating tenfortytenforty-example-name U tenfortytenforty-example-name/ABOUT-NLS U tenfortytenforty-example-name/AUTHORS |
The cvs server echoes its actions to your terminal. It notes directory changes as it does so.
cvs server: Updating tenfortytenforty-example-name/doc/C
U tenfortytenforty-example-name/doc/C/Makefile.am
U tenfortytenforty-example-name/doc/C/Makefile.in
U tenfortytenforty-example-name/doc/C/addressbook.sgml
|
Example 2. and another Module for clarity
[A-Hacker@work]$ cvs -z3 -d:ext:A-Hacker@cvs.tenforty.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/tenforty co documentation A-Hacker@cvs.tenforty.sourceforge.net's password: <PassWord4Login> |
cvs server: Updating documentation U documentation/development.html U documentation/plugin.html |
Now I check I have what I think I should have
[A-Hacker@work]$ ls -lah total 16k drwxr-sr-x 4 A-Hacker A-Hacker 4.0k Jun 20 00:45 . drwxr-sr-x 51 A-Hacker A-Hacker 4.0k Jun 20 00:33 .. drwxr-sr-x 17 A-Hacker A-Hacker 4.0k Jun 20 00:43 tenfortytenforty-example-name drwxr-sr-x 3 A-Hacker A-Hacker 4.0k Jun 20 00:45 documentation [A-Hacker@work]$ cd documentation/ [A-Hacker@work]$ ls CVS development.html plugin.html |
All is well.
I now have a Working Copy of the sources I would like to work on. I go off line to work on these files. So I do just that, adding the new cvs-quickstartv0.2.sgml file.
