Committing Changes

When you are ready to put your changed files back into the repository, you use the Commit command. To commit files, do one of the following:

• Choose CVS | Commit All from the main menu. The IDE commits all changes in all open projects. Note that files in the Favorites window are not committed.

• Click the Commit All button in the Versioning window to commit all the files in the location currently being monitored by the Versioning window. The location is displayed in the title bar of the Versioning window.

• Right-click any file, folder, or project node in the IDE and choose CVS | Commit.

In the Commit dialog box, shown in Figure 4-6, specify a message for the commit and review that each file has the correct action. You can exclude any file from the commit in this dialog box.
