If you are not familiar with CVS, check out our getting started article.

These examples are based on Linux. Let's say your CVS home directory is /var/cvs. Move into your CVS home directory.

~]# cd /var/cvs

Create a new file. In this example, a new shell script is created.

~]# touch myScript.sh

Add the new file to CVS.

~]# cvs add myScript.sh

You would then commit the new file.
