# The tangent depot

As part of rewriting history, P4 Server makes use of the tangent depot; the tangent depot is a system-generated, read-only location in which the `p4 fetch -t` command stores conflicting changes. The `p4 fetch -t` command automatically creates the tangent depot named `tangent` if one does not already exist. This is further explained in the next section, Rewrite history to solve conflicts.

For more information on the various kinds of depots, including the tangent depot, see the `p4 depot` chapter in the P4 CLI Reference.
