CVS CheatSheet

Where can I find a CVS guide ?

A CVS manual is available here

Common CVS commands used

• cvs checkout

This command is used to checkout a copy of the workspace from the repository to the local machine.

• cvs commit

This command allows you to commit the changes made in your workspace to the repository.

• cvs delete

This command would mark the file on which command was targeted for removal. A ''cvs commit' would need to follow to make this change permanent.

• cvs diff

Generates the diffs between the files on your local workspace and the most recent revison of the files in the repository.
Sample Usage :
cvs diff -u myfile.java
