To work with a version control system in the IDE, you must mount your working directory of version-controlled files as a filesystem in the IDE. You must also have the version control software that you want to use installed on your computer.

If you do not have version control software installed on your computer, you can use the built-in CVS client that is available with the IDE. See Mounting a CVS Filesystem for more information. |

To download more profiles, see the web page http://vcsgeneric.netbeans.org/profiles/index.html. If none of the profiles fits your needs, see Creating a Custom VCS Profile.
