2.1 Telling CVS where your repository is

There are several ways to tell CVS where to find the repository. You can name the repository on the command line explicitly, with the `-d' (for "directory") option:

 
cvs -d /usr/local/cvsroot checkout yoyodyne/tc

Or you can set the $CVSROOT environment variable to an absolute path to the root of the repository, `/usr/local/cvsroot' in this example. To set $CVSROOT, csh and tcsh users should have this line in their `.cshrc' or `.tcshrc' files:

 
setenv CVSROOT /usr/local/cvsroot

sh and bash users should instead have these lines in their `.profile' or `.bashrc':

 
CVSROOT=/usr/local/cvsroot
export CVSROOT

A repository specified with `-d' will override the $CVSROOT environment variable. Once you've checked a working copy out from the repository, it will remember where its repository is (the information is recorded in the `CVS/Root' file in the working copy).

The `-d' option and the `CVS/Root' file both override the $CVSROOT environment variable. If `-d' option differs from `CVS/Root', the former is used. Of course, for proper operation they should be two ways of referring to the same repository. If `-d' option differs from `CVS/Root', the former is used.
