Using TortoiseCVS for COMP314
First step is to download TortoiseCVS from their download page. The version I downloaded is 1.8.25.
After installing TortoiseCVS (and probably restarting windows), you can right-click in any folder and do a CVS Checkout:
Once you come to the CVS Checkout dialog, there are three things to be done:
- Copy and paste the following into box 1:
:ext:login_d@cvs.scms.waikato.ac.nz:/usr/local/global-cvs/comp314a/ - Change login_id to your own University login in box 2.
- And make sure our group module, noname is entered into box 3.
The University server will need you to enter your password. Perhaps, it will just be the last 8 digits on your ID Card. Enter it in, in case you were wondering. (You’ll have to do this everytime it seems).
All the folders and files that are stored in the version control system (CVS), will be downloaded from the CVS server for the first time. This means they are listed as updated (the files are green and listed with a U).
You can the view checked out folder in Explorer:
