Create a stream depot

Note

For an introduction to streams, see the Streams chapter.

Create a stream depot in which the stream you create in the next step will reside.

At the command line, type the following:
```
$ p4 depot -t stream JamCode
```
The -t option specifies the type of depot to create, in this case a stream depot. JamCode is the name of the depot you’re creating.

Notice that the depot specification opens in your text editor:

# A Perforce Depot Specification.
#
#  Depot:       The name of the depot.
#  Owner:       The user who created this depot.
#  Date:        The date this specification was last modified.
#  Description: A short description of the depot (optional).
#  Type:        Whether the depot is 'local', 'remote',
#               'stream', 'spec', 'archive', 'tangent',
#               or 'unload'.  Default is 'local'.
#  Address:     Connection address (remote depots only).
#  Suffix:      Suffix for all saved specs (spec depot only).
#  StreamDepth: Depth for streams in this depot (stream depots only).
#  Map:         Path translation information (must have ... in it).
#  SpecMap:     For spec depot, which specs should be recorded (optional).
