Perforce (p4) Command Line: Tips and Tricks

Quick start with p4

Open p4v (visual Perforce client).
Right click on the project folder.
Click "Open Terminal".
Now you can use p4 in a preconfigured console, you don't need to setup workspace and server connection.

Create a new change list

p4 change -o | p4 change -i

p4 change -o: default change list description
p4 change -i: create new change list

Create 20 new change lists

for i in {1..20}; do
  p4 change -o | p4 change -i;
done

Add, checkout (edit), delete and revert

Default change list:

p4 add ./file
p4 edit ./file
p4 delete ./file
p4 revert ./file

Custom change list:

p4 add -c 12345678 ./file
p4 edit -c 12345678 ./file
p4 delete -c 12345678 ./file
p4 revert -c 12345678 ./file

Add a bunch of files into a change list

Imagine situation, when you need to add 40000 files into a single changelist to create an initial commit.

cat ./files | p4 -x- add -c 12345678

-x is an option where to read the input, and -x- means to read the files from standard input.
-c is an option of add operation to specify a concrete change list number.

Split a big changelist into little ones

Now, perhaps, you need to create a 40 changelists with 1000 files in the each one. And perhaps you have a file "files" with 40000 lines inside one. Then:

split -l 1000 ./files

Output is "xaa", "xab", "xac" files, total count is 40 new files per 1000 lines.

Create 40 change lists:

for i in {1..40}; do
  p4 change -o | p4 change -i;
done

Write down change list numbers. For example, we've got numbers 9901, 9902, and so on, up to 9940.

Rename files into existing change list numbers:

mv xaa 9901
mv xab 9902
mv xac 9903
# ...
mv xbp 9940

Add files according to change lists:

for i in 99*; do
  cat {i} | p4 -x- add -c {i};
done

File list "9901" will be added to the 9901 change list
File list "9902" will be added to the 9902 change list.
And so on.

Print files

In the local folder of workspace:
```
p4 files "*"
```
In the local folder recursively:
```
p4 files "..."
```
In the remote depot:
```
p4 files "//Depot/..."
```

The latest revision of a file

p4 filelog -m1 ./file

Diff between two revisions

p4 diff2 -u file#3 file#5
