Description

Open a file for adding to the depot.

  • To associate the open files with a specific pending changelist, use the -c flag. If you omit the -c flag, the open files are associated with the default changelist
  • To specify file type, use the -t flag
  • To display a preview of the specified add operation without changing any files or metadata, use the -n flag

Options

-c changelist

Opens the files for add within the specified changelist. If this option is not used, the files are linked to the default changelist.

-n

By default, p4 add assumes the file is a simple text file.

The following alternate filetypes are available:

  • symlink - symbolic link
  • binary - binary file
  • binary+F - large binary file, to be stored using git-lfs
