Anonymous Access to the GO CVS Repository
Issue the following commands on your machine to create a directory for the GO CVS repository, check out the contents, and update your copy.
user% cd myDirectory
where myDirectory is the directory where you would like to store the GO repository and user% is your command line prompt.
user% mkdir go
user% cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.geneontology.org:/anoncvs login
The login command will ask for a password; please enter your email address. To check out the entire GO CVS repository, use the command:
user% cvs -q -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.geneontology.org:/anoncvs checkout go
After the above commands there will be a complete copy of the GO repository on your machine. Update the copy with the following commands:
user% cd myDirectory/go
user% cvs -q -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.geneontology.org:/anoncvs update -d -P
If you prefer to check out or update only part of the repository, you can specify a subdirectory or file name in the cvs checkout or cvs update command.
More detailed instructions on using CVS can be found in the GNU CVS Manual [external website] and at Open Source Development with CVS [external website].
