Specifying Default Command Options
If you find yourself regularly using
the same options with a command, you can use the
.cvsrc file to set default options and minimize
your typing. If the .cvsrc file is in your home
directory on your client machine, CVS will read the file, look for
the CVS command you are currently running, and will run the command
with the options specified for that command in the file. To
temporarily avoid parsing the .cvsrc file, use
the -f CVS option.
The .cvsrc file format is one line per command.
Start a line with the command you want to modify, followed by the
options you want as the default. You can also specify default CVS
options in the .cvsrc file. To do so, use
cvs as the command.
Example 3-25 shows a .cvsrc
file. This file specifies a default description for adding
files, specifies (using -P) that
update and checkout prune
empty directories, and specifies (using -q) that
CVS run quietly, but not as quietly as it would with the
-Q option.
Example 3-25. A .cvsrc file
add -m "Part of the wizzard project" update -P checkout -P cvs -q
