    1. Set the Stream name to main

    2. Set the Stream type to mainline

    3. Click Browse and select the streams depot you created in P4Admin

    Note

    This mainline stream is a starting point. Later on, you might want a development stream for files that will change a lot, as well as a release stream for files that are stable. For more information, see Streams in Solutions Overview: Helix Core Version Control System.
