checkout CVS

Or

cvs -d user@cvs.fsl.cs.sunysb.edu:/scm/cvsroot co gos

recursively add folder and files, or add whole directory

From http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5071/how-to-add-cvs-directories-recursively First, add all the directories, but not any named "CVS":

find . -type d \! -name CVS -exec cvs add '{}' \;

Then add all the files, excluding anything in a CVS directory:

find . \( -type d -name CVS -prune \) -o \( -type f -exec cvs add '{}' \; \)

remove empty folders

CVS checkout and update will always check out empty directories; that's just the way CVS is built. Do an update with "-P" -- "prune" -- to remove empty directories:

cvs update -dP

discard local change

cvs update -C filename

compare local file with server file

cvs diff -up original.php

See what have changed locally

cvs -qn up

See all recent committs

Compare two version of a file
