<h4 class="subsection">16.9.1 Custom VCS interfaces</h4>

<p>The Version Control interface in GPS can be customized, either to
refine the behavior of the existing system and adapt it to specific
needs, or to add support for other Version Control systems.
</p>
<p>Custom VCS interfaces are defined entirely through XML files. Those
files are read in the same location as all the other XML
customizations that GPS offers. See <a href="Customizing-through-XML-and-Python-files.html#Customizing-through-XML-and-Python-files">Customizing through XML and Python files</a> for a
complete description.
</p>
<p>There are two steps to follow when creating a custom VCS
interface. The first step is to describe the VCS itself, and the
second step is to implement actions corresponding to all the
operations that this VCS can perform. The following two sections
(<a href="Describing-a-VCS.html#Describing-a-VCS">Describing a VCS</a> and <a href="Implementing-VCS-actions.html#Implementing-VCS-actions">Implementing VCS actions</a>) describe
those steps.
</p>
<p>GPS is distributed with XML files describing the interfaces to
ClearCase, CVS and Subversion. These XML files are located in the directory
<code>share/gps/plug-ins</code> in the GPS installation, and can be used as a
reference for implementing new custom VCS interfaces.
