checkin - Check files into source control system (UNIX platforms)

GUI Alternatives

As an alternative to the checkin function, use File > Source Control > Check In in the Editor, the Simulink^® product, or the Stateflow^® product, or the context menu of the Current Folder browser.

Syntax

checkin('filename','comments','comment_text') checkin({'filename1','filename2'},'comments','comment_text') checkin('filename','comments', 'comment_text','option','value')

Description

checkin('filename','comments','comment_text') checks in the file named filename to the source control system. Use the full path for filename and include the file extension. You must save the file before checking it in, but the file can be open or closed. The comment_text is a MATLAB string containing checkin comments for the source control system. You must supply comments and comment_text.

checkin({'filename1','filename2'},'comments','comment_text') checks in the files filename1 through filenamen to the source control system. Use the full paths for the files and include file extensions. Comments apply to all files checked in.

checkin('filename','comments', 'comment_text','option','value') provides additional checkin options. For multiple file names, use an array of strings instead of filename, that is, {'filename1','filename2',...}. Options apply to all file names. The option and value arguments are shown in the following table.

option Argument	value Argument	Purpose
`'force'`	`'on'`	`filename` is checked in even if the file has not changed since it was checked out.
`'force'`	`'off'` (default)	`filename` is not checked in if there were no changes since checkout.
`'lock'`	`'on'`	`filename` is checked in with comments, and is automatically checked out.
`'lock'`	`'off'` (default)	`filename` is checked in with comments but does not remain checked out.

Examples

Check In a File

Check the file /myserver/mymfiles/clock.m into the source control system, with the comment Adjustment for leapyear:

checkin('/myserver/mymfiles/clock.m','comments',... 
'Adjustment for leapyear')

Check In Multiple Files

Check two files into the source control system, using the same comment for each:

checkin({'/myserver/mymfiles/clock.m', ... 
'/myserver/mymfiles/calendar.m'},'comments',... 
'Adjustment for leapyear')

Check In a File and Keep It Checked Out

Check the file /myserver/mymfiles/clock.m into the source control system and keep the file checked out:

checkin('/myserver/mymfiles/clock.m','comments',... 
'Adjustment for leapyear','lock','on')
