Synopsis

cvs [cvs-options] add [-k mode] [-m message] files
                  

Adds a file or directory to the repository. This command can also be used to undo an uncommitted file deletion or to restore a deleted file. Remember, you must commit any added files in order for the addition to fully take effect.

Command options

-k mode

Add a file or files with the designated keyword-expansion mode. This option also sets the default keyword mode for the file. If you forget to set the default keyword mode with cvs add, you can do so later with cvs admin.

The keyword-expansion modes are listed in Section 11.6 of Chapter 11.

-m message

Use the specified message as the description of the newly added file. The description is shown in cvs log output.

Example

bash-2.05a$ cvs add Design.rtf 
cvs server: scheduling file `Design.rtf' for addition
cvs server: use 'cvs commit' to add this file permanently
