Add files
To add files to the depot, create the files in your workspace, then
issue the p4 add
command. The p4
add
command opens the files for add
in the
default pending changelist. The files are added when you successfully
submit the default pending changelist. You can open multiple files for
add using a single p4 add
command by using wildcards.
You cannot use the Helix server ...
wildcard to add files recursively.
To add files recursively, use the p4 reconcile
command. See p4 reconcile
in the
Helix Core P4 Command Reference.
Example Add files
Bruno has created a couple of text files that he must add to the
depot. To add all the text files at once, he uses the *
wildcard when he issues the p4 add
command.
C:\bruno_ws\Acme\dev\docs\manuals> p4 add *.txt
//Acme/dev/docs/manuals/installnotes.txt#1 - opened for add
//Acme/dev/docs/manuals/requirements.txt#1 - opened for add
Now the files he wants to add to the depot are open in his default changelist. The files are stored in the depot when the changelist is submitted.
Example Submit a changelist to the depot
Bruno is ready to add his files to the depot. He types p4
submit
and sees the following form in a standard text
editor:
Change: new Client: bruno_ws User: bruno Status: new Description: <enter description here> Type: public Files: //Acme/dev/docs/manuals/installnotes.txt # add //Acme/dev/docs/manuals/requirements.txt # add
Bruno changes the contents of the Description:
field to
describe his file updates. When he’s done, he saves the form and exits
the editor, and the new files are added to the depot.
You must enter a description in the Description:
field. You
can delete lines from the Files:
field. Any files deleted
from this list are moved to the next default changelist, and are listed
the next time you submit the default changelist.
If you are adding a file to a directory that does not exist in the depot, the depot directory is created when you successfully submit the changelist.
