Adding files to a project

Let's create hello.c:

#include 

main()
{
        puts("Hello World");
}

and a Makefile:

hello: hello.o
        $(CC) -o hello hello.o

and add them to the CVS tree:

$ add hello.c Makefile

However, local changes are only made to the repository when you commit:

$ cvs commit -m "first shot at it"

If you don't use -m to specify a log message, cvs will run the editor in EDITOR to let you edit the log message.
