1.3.3. Checking Out a Working Copy
To check out a working copy of a project in a CVS repository, run the following command:
cvs-dcvs_repositorycheckoutmodule
This creates a new directory called module with a working copy of a project in it. Note that cvs_repository is a URL of the CVS repository and module is the subdirectory in which the project is stored (such as
project). Alternatively, you can set the $CVSROOT environment variable as follows:
exportCVSROOT=cvs_repository
Then you can use the
cvs checkout command without the -d option:
cvscheckoutmodule
Example 1.17. Checking out a working copy
Imagine that you have a CVS repository in
~/cvs/ and that this repository contains a module named project. To check out a working copy of this module, type:
~]$export CVSROOT=~/cvs~]$cvs checkout projectcvs checkout: Updating project U project/AUTHORS U project/INSTALL U project/LICENSE U project/Makefile U project/TODO
