Source Code Repository¶

VCS - Version Control System¶

CVS - Concurrent Versions System is a version control system, an important component of Source Configuration Management (SCM)
TortoiseCVS: lets you work with files under CVS version control directly from Windows Explorer
RabbitVCS is a set of graphical tools written to provide simple and straightforward access to the version control systems you use.

SVN
- TortoiseSVN
ClearCase
MS SourceSafe（VSS）

wstool¶

wstool is a command to manipulate multiple version controlled folders, using it you can update several folders using a variety SCMs (SVN, Mercurial, git, Bazaar) with just one command

vcstool¶

Vcstool is a version control system (VCS) tool, designed to make working with multiple repositories easier.

vcstool provides commands to manage several local SCM repositories (supports git, mercurial, subversion, bazaar) based on a single workspace definition file (.repos or .rosinstall).

vcstool replaces wstool. In contrast to wstool it doesn't have any state beside the working directories of the repositories in the file system.

For compatibility with rosinstall_generator is can read .rosinstall files. The file format of .repos files generated by vcs export provides stricter guarantees (e.g. that all entries are collision free when fetching them).

install

Bash

sudo apt install python3-vcstool
# or
sudo pip install -U vcstool

Create a Workspace
Bash
```
mkdir -p ~/ros_ws/src
cd ~/ros_ws
```
Populate the Workspace from a .rosinstall File (rosinstall format)
Bash
```
vcs import src < PATH_TO_ROSINSTALL_FILE.rosinstall
```
Updating the Workspace
Bash
```
vcs pull src
```
