# 5.4. Initial Setup

To make life easier in the future with regards to updating the CVS tree create the file `$HOME/.cvsrc` and insert the following lines. This configures useful defaults for the three most commonly used CVS commands. Do this now before proceeding any further.

    diff -u -b -B
    checkout -P
    update -d -P

Also, if you are on a slow net link (like a dialup), you will want to add a line containing `cvs -z5` in this file. This turns on a useful compression level for all CVS commands.
