Mounting a VCS Working Directory

See Also

To work with a version control system in the IDE, you must mount your working directory of version-controlled files as a VCS filesystem in the IDE. You must also have the version control software that you want to use installed on your computer.

note If you do not have version control software installed on your computer, you can use the built-in CVS client that is available with the IDE.

To mount a PVCS, VSS, or CVS filesystem:

  1. Choose Versioning and choose Mount Version Control from the main window.
  2. Select a profile from the Version Control System Profile combo box.
  3. Enter the location of your local files in the Working Directory field. If you are mounting a directory that is already under version control, the rest of the profile settings are filled in for you.
  4. Depending on which profile you selected, set the following profile settings:
