5. Client - Starting to use a Project in CVS
We will assume the CVS Server has been initialized and that you have successfully logged into the CVS server. Someone has successfully created a new project or imported and existing project.
To start working on a project you do two things.
1. CD to the place where you want to work on the project.
2. run cvs checkout projectName
3. You may need to set up a .cvswrappers and/or a .cvsignore file in your home directory or in each directory of your project.
A folder called projectName will be created under the current folder with the whole project and all of its subfolders in it.
