Can files in the CVS be removed or deleted?

Yes. Files can be removed from the public directories. When a remove or rm command is used, the files are moved to the Attic directory.

Example of the remove command for user zzzzzz, (assuming pwd = /home/zzzzzz):

  • Type
    cd documentation/www/faqs/spreadsheet
    Type
    cvs -d :pserver:zzzzzz@localhost:/cvs remove 023.html
    in the second terminal to remove only the 023.html page from faqs spreadsheet directory.

Note: Both commands remove or rm work to perform removal of files to the attic directory.

Tip: In a terminal, use the up-arrow key to cycle through the past commands used. You can select and edit commands, instead of typing them each time. The computer will only read what is visible at the command prompt when you hit the Enter key.
