Before today I only used Microsoft SourceSafe for version control.
I must admit it was pretty convenient.
However for my home development I needed something free and relatively easy to learn.
I chose CVSNT as an open source solution, which is available for
multiple platforms.
After successful installation I created a repository:
cvs -d c:\cvs init
Since remembering all these commands and option flags for CVS was not in my plans I figured out that I need a simple GUI CVS client.
I installed WinCVS and it was exactly what I needed!
Configuring WinCVS client is actually simpler than I expected.
To import a project into CVS database all you need is to point to the repository path:
Once used path data is saved and you don’t need to input it again until you need to work with another repository.
Checking and committing are straightforward!
