The edit Command

The edit command enables you to edit or modify a file. When you edit a file, the file is temporarily added to the list of file watchers. You can release the file from the list of file watchers using the unedit command. For example, to edit a watched file in the current local working directory, use the following syntax:

$ cvs edit –l watched_file.txt

To release a watched file from the list of file watchers, use the following syntax:

$ cvs unedit –l watched_file.txt
