This article is in continuation of my earlier article Top 10 basic networking Commands in Unix and 10 tips of working fast in unix to read more see here 10 tips of using find command in linux.
Here is my list of most useful commands in Linux , its important that we know this and use it regularly while working with files folders which is in CVS.
Checking out code
cvs co –A folder or filename ( -A means head , this will checkout from head)
cvs co -rtag1 folder or filename (-r means tag or branch, this will checkout from tag "tag1")
cvs co -rbranch1 folder of filename ( checking out from cvs branch)
Adding new file in CVS
CVS add filename (adss file provided by filename into CVS)
Cvs commit –m “subject” filename (commit recently added or already added file into CVS)
Updating file from CVS
Cvs update filename (update file name from where it has downloaded e.g. head or branch)
cvs update -A filename ( update file from head)
cvs update -A test.java (update file test.java from head)
Checking status of file
cvs status filename (shows status of filename from where it has downloaded etc)
cvs status test.java (shows cvs status of file test.java)
Review a file's history tags
cvs log test.java | less (This is most useful cvs command it helps to find out all the tag and cvs branches a file has present)
CVS Help
cvs –help (Important to know this command provides all information related to cvs commands)
Difference between two CVS tags
cvs diff -rtag1 -rtag2
(Shows difference between two CVS tags tag1 and tag2 for a particular CVS module , you can run this command by going into that module or from CVS root directory by providing module name e.g. cvs diff –rtag1 –rtag2 project/currentproject )
