Introduction to CVS 4/1/2016 UMBC CMSC 341 1 Outline • Introduction to Source Code Management • What is CVS? • CVS for Project Submission • Basic commands • Checkout, Add, Commit, Update ◦ How to use CVS using Putty ◦ How to use CVS using Eclipse 4/1/2016 UMBC CMSC 341 2 What is Source Code Management • SCM : Also known as revision or source control • So, why should you use one? 4/1/2016 UMBC CMSC 341 3 What is CVS? • Concurrent Versioning System (CVS) is one of the earlier SCM systems which gained wide adoption • Advantages – – – – Open source Easy to install and use Simple command line client Wide integration in a lot of development tools 4/1/2016 UMBC CMSC 341 4 CVS for Project submission Terminology used ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ Repository Server Client Working Directory Some of the options available to connect to the repository ◦ Command-line using Putty ◦ Through Eclipse IDE 4/1/2016 UMBC CMSC 341 5 CVS Command • The general form of CVS commands is: cvs [cvs-options] command [command-options-and-arguments] – All CVS commands start out with “cvs” – Commands may also have flags and/or arguments which modify their behavior • For a more help… – General help: cvs --help – List of commands: cvs --help-commands 4/1/2016 UMBC CMSC 341 6 Basic commands checkout : Pull resources from the repository and create a working copy add : place a resource under version control update : Pull down changes from the repository into your working copy commit: Check files into the repository 4/1/2016 UMBC CMSC 341 7 Command-line using Putty Steps to be followed ◦ Log in using Putty ◦ Edit the .cshrc file : Add alias javac usr/local/bin/javac 4/1/2016 UMBC CMSC 341 8 Command-line using Putty Step 1: cd changes your working directory to home directory Step 2: cvs -d /afs/umbc.edu/users/y/p/ypeng/pub/cs341s11/Proj0 checkout -d MyProj0 your_username You will get two files copied to MyProj0: a junk and a build file 4/1/2016 UMBC CMSC 341 9 Command-line using Putty Step 3: cd MyProj0 Change to your project directory Step 4 : mkdir src Step 5: cd src Step 6: Create a java file called Proj0.java and type in a simple java code. Let the package name be ‘firstproject’. Save the file in the src folder. 4/1/2016 UMBC CMSC 341 10 Build file Step 7: if the build file you checked out is build.txt, then mv build.txt build.xml Step 8 : edit build.xml (change the value of main.class) Step 3: cd MyProj0 Change to your project directory Step 4 : mkdir src 4/1/2016 UMBC CMSC 341 11 Command-line using Putty Step 9: Compile the code using ant compile Step 10: Run the code using ant run 4/1/2016 UMBC CMSC 341 12 Command-line using Putty Step 11 : Add files to the repository: ◦ Step 11.1 cvs add build.xml ◦ Step 11.2 cvs add src/ ◦ Step 11.3 cd src ◦ Step 11.4 cvs add Proj0.java ◦ Step 11.5 cvs commit –m ‘some text’ 4/1/2016 UMBC CMSC 341 13 Command-line using Putty Step 12: Check if Proj0.java is added to the repository ◦ Go to src folder in MyProj0 ◦ Remove Proj0.java ◦ Run ‘cvs update’ ◦ You should get back Proj0.java from the repository 4/1/2016 UMBC CMSC 341 14 Eclipse Eclipse has a built-in perspective for CVS ◦ All of the developer downloads come with it pre-installed (The following directions are for the Eclipse Ganymede Eclipse IDE for Java Developer release) Eclipse – CVS Perspective To open the CVS repository perspective select Window Open Perspective Other… Eclipse – CVS Perspective Select CVS Repository Exploring Eclipse – Adding a Repository To add a repository, right click on the CVS Repositories pane and select New Repository Location… Eclipse – Connection Settings Type in the parameters to connect to the remote repository For example… ◦ Host: linux.gl.umbc.edu ◦ Repository Path: /afs/umbc.edu/users/y/p/ypeng/pub/cs341s11/Proj0/ ◦ User:Your GL/myUMBC username ◦ Password: Your GL/myUMBC password ◦ Connection type: extssh Save the password if you wish Eclipse – Connection Settings Eclipse – Viewing Repositories You should now see the repository under the CVS Repositories Pane Eclipse – Checking Out Expand the repository, expand HEAD, select your module (username) then right click and choose Check Out As… Eclipse – Checking Out (continued) Be sure to use the New Project Wizard, click Finish… Eclipse – Checking Out (continued) Select to check out the module as a Java Project Eclipse – Checking Out (continued) Name the project and click Finish… Eclipse – Checked Out Code Switch back to the Java Perspective and you will see the module checked out as a project ◦ Note the little orange cylinders – that indicates that it’s under version control Eclipse – New Resources • Just like with the command line, items that are not know to be under CVS control are marked with a “?” symbol – Such as the Eclipse generated src folder Eclipse – Synchronizing To commit to or update from the repository, right click on the project and choose Team Synchronize with Repository Eclipse – Committing Resources Here we see an outgoing arrow indicating that this needs to be pushed to the repository ◦ Commits and updates can be performed by right clicking Eclipse – Synchronized If all is in sync, you should see the “No Changes” dialog as shown below… Thank you! 4/1/2016 UMBC CMSC 341 31
