CVS Commands

Most of your interaction with CVS is through the various CVS commands. Even if you use a graphical client, most of the functions the client uses call the CVS commands.

Most commands have a shortened nickname that you can type instead of the longer command name. These are called command synonyms in CVS jargon.
