Basic versioning tasks
TaskDescriptionPerforce activity
Add files to the depotAfter you add files to your project, you add them to the depot.Files are opened for add in a pending changelist.
Retrieve filesGet a copy of a file from the depot.Files are synced to your computer.
Check files outGet the latest version from the depot for editing.Files are opened for edit in a pending changelist.
Check files inPut your edited files in the depot as the most recent revisions.A pending changelist is submitted.
Diff filesCompare a file with a previous revision to see what's changed.The Perforce diff utility is launched to display differences between two versions of a file.
Revert filesDiscard changes you've made to your local copy of a depot file.The head revision is synced to your client workspace and removed from its pending changelist.
Delete filesRemove a file from a project and from the depot.Files are opened for delete in a pending changelist.
Note that deleting files is a two-part operation: when you delete a file from the project, the file is physically deleted from the file system and opened for delete in a pending changelist. However, the file remains in the depot until you submit the changelist.

Perforce操作的几个点

  1. 以199.221:10086以及用户名VP01建立connection，注意这个Connection概念。
  2. Open上述Connection后，需要在本地建立一个workspace，并取名。通常，每个p4 client端的workspace name都各不相同，这会对Switchboard的配置造成一定的困扰
  3. p4 workspace的本地路径在nDisplay集群的机器上也可能各不相同，这个也会对switchboard的配置造成一定的困扰。尽量保证所有机器上的workspace的本地路径一致
  4. p4 client界面，左边有两个Tree控件，分别是服务器端depot和本地workspace
  5. 需要存放到depot进行版本管理的工程，必须放置在本地workspace路径下
  6. 明白revision与changelist是有区别的。一个changelist是由一些处于特定revision的改动构成的
  7. 回滚、修改并提交的全流程是：回滚、修改、拉新、处突、提交。
  8. 新建UE4工程后，首先需要将其提交到depot
    • 工程需放置在本地workspace目录下
    • 在本地workspace tree中定位到工程目录节点，右键选择[Mark for Add]，然后在Saved和Intermediate目录节点上右键并选择[]
