how to obtain code from repository using WinCvs


I got a CVS connection string, here it is :

:ssh;username=dummy;password=dummy;hostname=repos.mooo.com:/home/projects/repos

How can I get project code using WinCvs, I've just installed it and I can't find howto online, maybe some help, thank you


Solution

  • In WinCVS 2.1, Click the Remote menu item, and select Checkout code. On this screen click the ... next to CVSROOT, and you should bring up a dialog allowing you to enter the parameters you mention in your question (this is a bit easier to do than trying to enter the string manually).

    You'll also need to enter a module name on the server, and a directory to check our the code into, but once you do this and click OK you should start checking out the code.
