Usually, if you use VS.NET, you will use the VSS as version management system, but VSS is not as strong as other version management systems, and it is also to spend money. Compared with CVS is a very wide version of the audience in Java, free, and powerful and simple. But because it is free, it is not good, if you choose a more stable version, CVS is still very reliable. If you want to compare CVS and VSS, then I think you will prefer CVS. It is not compared here. It is not the purpose of this article. The purpose of this article is to tell you how to use the CVS management version under the .NET project.
The first step is to download the relevant software. The following is the software required, all free and open source:
CVSNT (http://www.cvsnt.com/), CVS is a real C / S version management system, so there are servers and client statements. CVSNT is a leader in the CVS server, which is better than the official website, and supports multiple platforms, which is currently using the most widely used CVS (including client). Remember to pick a stable version, usually relatively old stable versions are real stable versions. Tortoisecvs (http://sourceforge.net/projects/torToise.net/projects/tortoisecvs), CVS in Windows client, this stuff is very good, close to Windows Explorer, CVS is so complex system, using this client is simple. . There is also a product called CVS SCC Proxy plugin, which allows Microsoft's multiple IDEs to have direct access to CVS, but this plugin is not free (although not very expensive), and there are still many functions and bugs. So I didn't plan to use it. However, the integration effect of the plug-in is very good, and there is no different in vs.net, except for the CVS itself, except for more than VSS. Winmerge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/winmerge), a comparison with the merged software, TotoiseCVS can be used to make the version comparison and merge operation.
Install, you can use CVS to use CVS to manage it after installation. CVS is not a very intuitive software, using it still requires a process, general related software documents have textbooks to tell you how to use CVS, this is not described here. The following is a picture in the use of TortoiseCVS.
