bk new(7.3ce) BitKeeper User's Manual bk new(7.3ce)
NAME
bk new - add a file to the repository
SYNOPSIS
bk new [-bcq] [-M<mode>] [<file> ... | -]
DESCRIPTION
The bk new command is used to initially place files under BitKeeper
control.
A useful way to add new files in the current directory is:
bk gfiles -x *.[ch] | bk new -
When you want to add files in the current directory and all subdirecto-
ries, do the following:
bk -xr. new # same as bk gfiles -x | bk new -
After the files are checked in, don't be surprised to see that the
files are no longer in your directory. The process of checking in files
removes the files from the directory and places them in the SCCS direc-
tories. Once in the SCCS directory, the file can be retrieved with the
bk get or bk edit commands. Most versions of the UNIX make command
know about SCCS and will automatically check out files as they are
needed.
OPTIONS
-b force binary encoding with no keyword expansion; recommended
for all binary files, but will work on text files as well
(with a corresponding increase in the size of the revision
history file).
-c Use comments saved by a previous run of citool, fix, col-
lapse, etc. It is an error if there are no saved comments.
-M<mode> Set the permissions on the new delta to <mode>.
-q be quiet.
