Getting Started with $G - January 2009

Setting Your Account's Environment Variables

Edit your ~/.cshrc file and add the lines:

setenv GROOT /map/gfx0
source $GROOT/tools/gfxtools-startup-csh

setenv CVSROOT /map/gfx0/cvsroot

Checking out a project

$G uses CVS for source control and you can read more about it here.

You can work anywhere you choose, but a good location is:

/map/gfx0/users/<your_user_id>

So, for example, if your user id is "foo" and you wanted to check out the "wrist" project, you should type:

/map/gfx0/users/foo
cvs co project/wrist
