This section explains how to add new project to the CVS repository. Create the directory and add necessary document and source files to the directory. Now, run the following command to add this project to CVS repository: <screen>
![](/@@/translation-newline)
<command>cd your/project</command>
![](/@@/translation-newline)
<command>cvs -d :pserver:username@hostname.com:/var/lib/cvs import -m "Importing my project to CVS repository" . new_project start</command>
![](/@@/translation-newline)
</screen><placeholder-1/> The string <emphasis>new_project</emphasis> is a vendor tag, and <emphasis>start</emphasis> is a release tag. They serve no purpose in this context, but since CVS requires them, they must be present. <placeholder-2/>
