Committing modifications to the repository

To commit your changes to the repository, you check in your files and directories.

About this task

Checking in a file or directory creates a new and permanent version in the repository. It is good practice to check in your changes regularly, according to your local development conventions.

In this topic, you will check in the checked-out file in your VersionVault view.

To commit changes:

Procedure

Connect to the VersionVault server.

Expand the My Views node in the VersionVault Navigator, right-click on the view called yourname_tut_view and click Connect. In the WAN dialog box, fill in the connection details, and click OK.
Note: You can also select the view and click the (Connect to VersionVault Server) button in the toolbar or you can select Connect from the VersionVault menu. In addition, if you are not connected to a VersionVault server and you perform an action that requires such a connection, the WAN dialog box appears automatically.
In the VersionVault Navigator, navigate to the docs directory under the yourname_tutorial directory.
In the VersionVault Details view, select the readme.txt file.
Click the (Checkin the selected artifact(s)) button in the toolbar.

Note: You can also right-click the file and select Check In or you can select Actions -> Check In from the VersionVault menu.
In the Checkin dialog box, click OK.

Results

In the VersionVault Details view, note that the file no longer appears with a checked-out indicator.
