Adding Files
To add a file to a project in the repository, first create the file in your sandbox. Be sure to consider your project’s structure and place the file in the correct directory. Then, issue the following command from the sandbox directory containing the file:
cvs add filenameThis command marks the new file for inclusion in the repository.
Directories are added with the same command. Files within a directory
can’t be added until the directory itself is added.
A file is only marked for addition when you run cvs
add
; it is
actually added to the repository when the next cvs
commit is run. A directory is added to the repository
immediately. Example 2-19 shows a file being created
and added to the repository. Remember, the file is not actually
stored in the repository until the cvs commit
command is run.
Example 2-19. Adding files
$touch file3$cvs add file3cvs add: scheduling file `file3' for addition cvs add: use 'cvs commit' to add this file permanently $cvs commit... Log message editor opens ... RCS file: /var/lib/cvsroot/example/file3,v done Checking in file3; /var/lib/cvsroot/example/file3,v <-- file3 initial revision: 1.1 done
Tip
If you have binary files or other files that are not plain text,
please see the section on binary files in Chapter 3 before adding them to the repository. These
files should be added with the -kb command
option.
As with committing, an editor window will open asking you to enter a log message describing the files to be added.
