| -Hi everyone,
|
| +Several programs can be used to work with CVS under Windows. [http://www.tortoisecvs.org/|Tortoise] and [http://www.wincvs.org/download.html|WinCVS] are often mentioned. When either is up and running, visually comparing files will be a need. For that, many people use [http://winmerge.sourceforge.net/|WinMerge] or [http://www.prestosoft.com/ps.asp|ExamDiff]. Also [http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/|PuTTY] comes in handy. Sourceforge provides a [https://sourceforge.net/docs/F04/en/#top|documentation page] explaining how to set up Tortoise and other programs and their differences. |
|
|
| -I really am a linux user, but for those windows users out there, who want to download the latest and greatest CVS Tikipro code, you are gonna need a tool.
|
| +! Using Tortoise under Windows |
| +# right click a root directory of your choice and select |
| ++ ++yellow:CVS checkout...++ |
| +# in the CVSROOT line, type: |
| ++ ++yellow::pserver:anonymous@bitweaver.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/bitweaver++ |
| ++ when you are registered on sourceforge, you should use this |
| ++ ++yellow::ext:<your_username>@bitweaver.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/bitweaver++ |
| +# in the Module line, type: |
| ++ ++yellow:bitweaver++ ( or the module you want to get - see [#CVSModules|CVS Modules] ) |
| +# select the appropriate revision from the corresponding tab. this will usually be R plus the appropriate release version. e.g.: |
| ++ ++yellow:R1++ |
| +# ~~red:never use __import__.~~ All you need are __checkout__ and __update__. |
| +# Read further details on downloading bitweaver and checking out code on ((GetCode|this page: GetCode)) |
|
|
| +!! Troubleshooting |
| +* typos? |
| +* SF down again? |
| +* username expired? (long time no login) |
| +* first time using CVS? ... lots of SSH stuff to [https://sourceforge.net/docs/F04/en/#developer_config|wade through] |
|
|
| -The tool of choice for me is called: Tortoise CVS:

|
| +!Private Keys |
| +While you do not "need" a private key to use CVS, it is recommended as it will save you having to enter your password a dozen times a day. |
| + |
| +Source Forge has a page that will provide you with all you need to know here: [http://sourceforge.net/docs/F02/|http://sourceforge.net/docs/F02/] |

| -But how do I use it? You may be asking! Well, first, set yourself up a sourceforge username and password, and join the tikipro project... then, download and install Tortoise, open up explorer, RIGHT click a new folder, and scroll down to the nice *new* menu option labelled "Tortoise CVS" and click Check out...
