GHOP #6: Create a video showing how to install and use TortoiseCVS

Type: Training Windows CVS

Contributed projects are stored on drupal.org using a version control system called CVS. All project maintainers must use CVS to manage their code. TortoiseCVS is a popular GUI application used on Windows to work with CVS. There are written instructions in the handbook on how to use it but a video that shows how to install TortoiseCVS and then use it to add and update a project on drupal.org would be an invaluable tool for visual learners and people who have difficulty reading English.

The task will involve learning how to install the application and using it to complete basic CVS tasks: adding a project, creating a branch and creating a tag. Then record and narrate a video that walks through these steps.

The deliverable for this task is to create a handbook page in the Video and Slides section and upload a short video (less than 15 minutes) in mp4 format that shows how to install TortoiseCVS then use it to add a new project to drupal.org, create a branch and create a tag. The task is complete upon review and approval by a documentation team member.
