Version Control with CVS on Mac OS X

Posted by pudge on from the version-controlling-goodness dept.

Ryan writes "Apple recently published an article on using CVS with Mac OS X. 'This article covers some of the most commonly used features of CVS, with emphasis on using CVS with static and interpreted web files (HTML, PHP, Perl, etc).'" It's a decent article, a good primer on how to get started, and it's nice that Mac OS X comes with a CVS server. Personally, I really dig maccvs for my CVS client, and there are plenty of other clients for Mac OS out there too.

    the article makes several references to using BASH and/or SH, yet, by default OS X doesn't include BASH (i had to compile and install it myself, and then figure out netinfo to get to be my default shell).

  2. maccvs works? by softsign · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Hey Pudge, how'd you get maccvs to work? I tried using it with a fink install of python, but it didn't seem to like that and said it preferred MacPython. Then I tried getting that to work with no luck as well (I didn't exactly try too hard since the idea of keeping two python installs on one machine didn't appeal to me). Any ideas? I don't really feel like messing with a GUI for CVS unless I know it'll work...
