Configuring CVS in windows
Server Configuration:
1. Download and install the CVSNT available in http://www.cvsnt.org . Set the installed directory in the path
2. Open the CVSNT Control Panel available under the Start Menu --> Programs --> CVSNT .
3. Click the New button in the Repositories tab in the CVSNT Control Panel.
4. Specify the directory which has to be configured to work as the cvs root directory. (eg. c:\testcvs and name as "\testcvs".)
5. In the "Service Status" Stop and Start the CVS Service and CVS Lock Service
Client Configuration:
1. If CVSNT is already installed in the system then it itself will act as CVS Client also. Others may download the CVS Client from http://cvshome.org and set in the PATH
2. set HOME=c:\\ (in command prompt)
3. Assume the system has user "administrator" and password as "admin", connect CVS as follows:
set CVSROOT=:pserver:administrator@<machinename>:/testcvs
4. cvs login (Enter the password as "admin")
5. Do the CVS operations like checkout,checkin etc.,
Working with CVS Repository:
All directories under the configured cvs root directory (eg. c:\testcvs) will be considered to be in the repository. You may checkout the directories under it as follows:
1.Consider i have a new directory "dir1" under "c:\testcvs" .
2. Checkout the directory as: cvs co dir1.
3. cd dir1. Now add new files or directories here.
To add a new file to the repository:
* cvs add <filename>. Then checkin the file using
* cvs ci <filename>.
To add a new directory:
* cvs add <directory>
Note that to add a directory, it is enough if you do as cvs add but in case of adding a file you need to add the file and also checkin the file.
4. Now you may modify the files and checkin the modified files as cvs ci <filename>. |

Enter the code exactly as you see it. The code is case sensitive and zero has a diagonal line through it.
