Description
Initialize a new personal (local) Perforce server.
In order to run p4 init, you must have up-to-date and matching versions of the p4 and p4d executables in your operating system path. You can download these executables from www.perforce.com.
Perforce stores its database files in the directory named
.p4root. Perforce stores configuration settings in
the P4CONFIG and P4IGNORE files at the top
level of your directory. It is not necessary to view or update these
files, but you should be aware that they exist.
After initializing your new server, run p4 reconcile to mark all of your source files to be added to Perforce, then p4 submit to submit them.
