Local CVS in Python

This repository contains a local CVS implementation in Python.

Getting Started

To get started with this local CVS implementation, follow these steps:

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/Daemetry/local-cvs-in-python.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

cd local-cvs-in-python

3. Install the required dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Once you have installed the project, you can use its commands. Any command starts with

python *your-path-to*/local-cvs-in-python/main.py

which further will be abbreviated to "gym".

Pick a directory you want your repository to be in, then cd into it.

• Creating a new repository:

gym init

• Adding files to the repository:

gym add filename.fileformat

Note that no "gym add ." is supported.

• Committing changes to the repository:

gym commit -m "Commit message"

which creates new commit in the system with specified message. Note that message parametre is not optional.

• You can create new branches:

gym branch name

Default branch is called "boss" and it is created alongside the repository.

• Tagging specific commits:

gym tag everything-went-wrong-from-here

• Checking out branches and tages using their names, and commits directly by their hashes:

gym checkout branch/name
gym checkout tag/name
gym checkout 1h2a3s4h5

Take note that checking out on tags and commits is DETACHED HEAD.

• Merging branches. For this you want to first check out the recipient branch, then run:

gym merge incoming-branch

Note that any merge conflicts have to be resolved manually, after which you would want to add the changes and commit them.
