Checking in the project

To check the project in, complete the following steps:
In the Project Editor

  1. In the Project Tree, checkmark all projects by right-clicking anywhere in the Project Tree, and then choosing Context menu > Select From All Projects.
    You now see all the files in all the projects.
  2. Press the Filters... button.
    The Filters dialog appears. You will now filter out SNiFF+'s Makefiles from the Project Editor's File List.
  3. In the FileTypes tab, clear the Make check box and press Ok.
    SNiFF+'s Makefiles are generated and maintained by SNiFF+, so there's no reason to version control them.
  4. Choose File > Select All.
  5. Choose File > Check In....

    SNiFF+ informs you that it cannot find the directories of the shared project in the RWE root directory (they haven't been created yet). You will now have SNiFF+ initialize your RWE by copying the SSWE project directory structure into the RWE.
    This dialog will reappear for each new Repository directory, unless you select the Repeat check box.

  6. Select the Repeat check box and press Yes to create the necessary Repository directories for the project.
    When SNiFF+ has finished initializing your RWE, the Multiple Check In dialog appears.
In the Multiple Check In dialog
You can use this dialog to check in versions of single or multiple files. When you have made changes to multiple files, you can check in all the files at the same time and associate them with a change set. By doing so, you can perform a variety of version-control operations on all the files in a change set at the same time.
At this point, although we haven't made any changes, we will make use of the Change Set field to indicate that we are checking in the initial versions of all the files in the project.
  1. Leave the Version field blank. SNiFF+ will automatically assign a version number (1.1) and later increment it automatically.
  2. In the Change Set field, enter a name for the change set, e.g., Initial_Pico_file_set .
  3. In the Comment field, enter a descriptive text, e.g, Original Pico Files .

    Click for full size, then use Back button

  4. Press Ok.
In the Project Editor
When the check-in process is over, take a look at your Project Editor. You should notice the following changes:
  • The files in the File List are no longer in bold typeface. This means they are now read- only.

  • The icons in the Project Tree have also changed to indicate that the projects, too, are read-only.
