Basic examples

This section provides examples of simple command alias definitions and illustrates the many uses for even the simplest definitions.

Help me feel more comfortable as a user of another source control system.

checkout = sync
commit = submit
purge = clean
stash = shelve
stash-list = changes -s shelved

Create a personalized status command that also shows files that need syncing.
```
my-status = status && sync -n
```

Set different defaults.

annotate = annotate -u
grep = grep -i
changes = changes -u $(P4USER)

Simplify system administration.

Shutting down the server, displaying active users:

halt = admin shutdown
active-users = changes -m 3 &&
               monitor show &&
               lockstat

Remembering to clean up empty changelists

kill-shelf $(cl) = shelve -d -c $(cl) &&
                   change -d $(cl)

Change the order of arguments.

clone $(p4port) $(path) $(dir) = -d $(dir) -u bruges clone -p $(p4port) -f $(path)

Now the following command does what you want:

clone perforce:1666 //depot/main/p4...  ~/local-repos/main
