| <h2>Source code browsing online: ViewCVS</h2> |
| |
| <p>ViewCVS source code browsing allows the user to browse CVS managed files and their previous versions. Specifically,ViewCVS enables you to:</p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>Drill down through directories to get to individual source code files</li> |
| |
| <li>List versions for each file with author name and change log comments</li> |
| |
| <li>View any version of a source file</li> |
| |
| <li>See color-coded the differences between any two versions of a file</li> |
| |
| <li>See files annotated with the author of each section</li> |
| |
| <li>View deleted and removed files (when permitted)</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p>Access source code browsing by clicking the <i>Source Code</i> link in the Project menu within any project page.</p> |
| |
| <p>ViewCVS is a browser-based interface for CVS repositories. Browse the file hierarchy by selecting directories (designated with slashes after them, e.g. "www/"). When you click on a file, you can view the revision history for that file. Selecting a revision number downloads that revision of the file. Each revision includes a link to display differences between that revision and the previous one. A form at the bottom of the file revision history page allows you to display differences between arbitrary revisions.</p> |
