Adding / Editing / Committing / Updating

Committing your changes back into the repository:

$ cvs commit -m "log message"
CVS will not let you commit if you have non-up-to-date files. If you omit the log message (-m option), an editor will be invoked to allow you to enter a log message.

Checking out a copy of a project

Let's assume that we created the hello project (see the previous slide). 
$ cvs checkout hello
We now have a hello directory with a CVS subdirectory and no other files.
