From the Perforce documentation: Shelving is the process of temporarily storing work in progress on a Perforce Server without submitting a changelist. Shelving is useful when you need to perform multiple development tasks (such as interruptions from higher-priority work, testing across multiple platforms) on the same set of files, or share files for code review … Read more
In P4V you can turn on the option to “Show Deleted Depot Files”. Deleted depot files will then display, with their file icons having an “x” on them, and you can easily examine their history.
Perforce keeps track of the files that it thinks that you have on your local workstation. If you delete those files locally (and don’t “tell” perforce about it), then Perforce will still think that you have those files. If you want to get them back, you need to “force sync” the files. In p4v, you … Read more
Using P4V, you can right click on a folder and select “Reconcile Offline Work…”. In the middle panel (“Local files not in depot”), all the files that Perforce can find in the folder tree that are not in the depot will be listed. You can select some or all of these and right click and … Read more
It’s possible that P4V has guided you to create a stream depot and a mainline, but has somehow created a non-stream workspace for you. From what I’ve heard, that’s likely to happen for first-time P4V users due to something in the setup. To see if that’s the problem, go to Connection/Edit Workspace and look in … Read more
Also, there’s p4 changes -m1 //path/to/your/project/…#have which, if run in the client workspace that synced the files for building, will give you the highest changelist number of the files in the workspace.
That’s the describe command. To describe a particular changelist, you want p4 describe <changelist number>. Update: If you only want the file names, you can use the files command with the -F option to override the output format: p4 -Ztag -F “%depotFile%” files @=<changelist> See http://www.perforce.com/blog/130826/fun-formatting for more information about the -F option.
Run p4 opened to see all your opened files and run p4 revert to revert them. Then run p4 changes -c your-client-name -s pending to see all your pending changelists. Since in the first step you reverted all your open files, these changelists will all be empty. Run p4 change -d change-number to delete each … Read more
From the command line: p4 opened -a //depot/Your/Location/… The … indicates that sub folders should be included.
This should list all the shelved changes per user. p4 changes -u <USERNAME> -s shelved
