"[Consumers] will find the fine 'pocket references' produced by O'Reilly to be compact and affordable."
-- James Cox, The Computer Shelf: Midwest Book Review
"Indispensable handbook for administrators of all but small CVS installations, and probably for the small ones as well." --Craig Pfeifer, slashdot.com, March 27, 2001
"the creator has managed to pack a surprising amount into that tiny space. The book starts out with a brief but comprehensive introduction to what CVS and version control are, and why you might need them...on the admin side there is a pleasing amount of information and suggestions on topics such as security and common directory structures...if you want a pocket sized guide to look up all those strings of commands-even the obscure ones-this is ideal."--Linux Format, Jan 2001
"an excellent guide for the Concurrent Version System..... this clearly written and neatly organized reference places the power of CVS conveniently within every programmers reach." --Elizabeth Zinkann, Sys Admin, Nov 2000

DescriptionCVS, the Concurrent Version System, is an open source tool for managing source code so that multiple users can make changes on the same file at the same time, using a shared directory, and then commit those changes back into the directory. The CVS Pocket Reference is a quick reference guide to help administrators and users set up and manage source code development. This small book, the ultimate companion for open source developers, covers CVS Version 1.10.8 and delivers the core concepts of version control, along with a complete command reference and guide to configuration and repository setup.
Full Description
The beauty of open source is that it makes code freely available. The curse is that, without some method of organizing it, code development can devolve into chaos.
CVS, the Concurrent Version System, is an open source tool for managing source code, designed to allow multiple users to work on the same file at the same time, using a shared directory. Under CVS, multiple users can check out files from a directory tree, make changes, and then commit those changes back into the directory.
The CVS Pocket Reference is a quick reference guide to help administrators and users set up and manage source code development. This small book delivers the core concepts of version control along with a complete command reference and guide to configuration and repository set up. The book includes:
- A version control primer that teaches the general concepts of version control and how it applies to CVS.
- Instructions on how to install and configure CVS for Unix-like operating systems.
- Administrator and user sections, with complete listings of their respective commands and options for configuring and using CVS.
- Details on how to import files from RCS and SCCS directories into CVS. This Pocket Reference covers the latest version of CVS (1.10.8) and is the ultimate companion for open source developers.
