= CVS =

'''CVS''' ('''Concurrent Versions System''') was a version control system. The primary utility was `cvs(1)`, a command-line executable.

Compare to [[Git]].

----



== Installation ==

Some distributions still offer a `cvs` package. Few offer critical scripts and libraries, like [[https://cvsps.sourceforge.net/|cvsps]].

----



== Usage ==

I can only recommend using `cvs` to migrate ''away'' from CVS.

{{{
rsync -av rsync://PROJECT.cvs.sourceforge.net/cvsroot/PROJECT/\* cvs
git cvsimport -v -a -k -d $(realpath ./cvs) -C $(realpath ./git) MODULE
}}}

Available module names will be the top-level directories under `cvs`.
