ViewCVS is an open source tool for viewing the contents of CVS and SVN repositories using a web browser. It allows you to look at specific revisions of files as well as side by side diffs of different revisions. It is written in Python.

Components

ViewCVS consists of two main components. The first part is the repository browser. The second part is the commit database.

Complementary software

  • cvsgraph - allows graphical display of the branches and tags associated with a file in the repository.
  • GNU enscript - allows syntax highlighting of ViewCVS output.
  • MySQL - for the commit database.
