cvs: Add a project to the repository.
$ cvs import -m "${message}" ${project_name} ${version} ${vendor}
try on your machine

This command is related to CVS (Concurrent Versions System), a version control system.

The "cvs import" command is used to add a new project to the repository or create a new branch of an existing project.

Here's the breakdown of the command:

  • "cvs import" is the command itself.
  • "-m" is an option used to specify a log message or a brief description for the changes being made. "${message}" is a placeholder that suggests the log message should be provided when running the command.
  • "${project_name}" is another placeholder representing the name of the project or directory that will be imported into the repository.
  • "${version}" is a placeholder for the initial version number of the project or branch.
  • "${vendor}" is another placeholder, typically used to identify the name or organization responsible for the project.

To use this command, you need to replace the placeholders ("${message}", "${project_name}", "${version}", and "${vendor}") with the specific values that are relevant to your situation.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
