(@samp{$USER} is a placeholder for your Savannah username):
@smallexample
cvs -d :ext:$USER@@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/web/findutils checkout findutils/manual
cvs -d :ext:$USER@@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/web/findutils checkout findutils/manual
@end smallexample
You can automatically update the documentation in this repository
using the script @samp{build-aux/update-online-manual.sh} in the
findutils Git repository.
by using the script @samp{build-aux/update-online-manual.sh} with the
path to the findutils Git repository as parameter.
@smallexample
build-aux/update-online-manual.sh $HOME/git/findutils
@end smallexample
That script will generate the documentation in the directory
@samp{doc/manual/}
by calling the @code{make} target @samp{web-manual};
then it will copy over the files into the CVS checkout.
There you can check the documentation once again before committing
to CVS. The Savannah CVS server will automatically initiate the
transfer to the web server.
