Adding a File

cvsaddfile…
This schedules the file for addition to the CVS repository. To proceed and actually add the file to the repository, run the
cvs commit command as described in Section 1.3.6, “Committing Changes”.

project]$ ls
AUTHORS ChangeLog CVS doc INSTALL LICENSE Makefile README src TODO

project]$ cvs add ChangeLog
cvs add: scheduling file `ChangeLog' for addition
cvs add: use 'cvs commit' to add this file permanentlyDeleting a File
To remove a file from a CVS repository, change to the directory with its working copy and delete it locally:
rm file…
Then schedule this file for removal by using the following command:
cvsremovefile…
To proceed and actually remove the file from the repository, run the
cvs commit command as described in Section 1.3.6, “Committing Changes”.
