Question

How can I sync only 1 particular branch from my depo in P4.

Below command needs the file name:

p4 sync -n -f //depot/...filename

But I want to sync entire branch & I’ve multiple branches in my laptop. How can I specifically tell P4 to sync only a particular depo branch?

Thanks!

The … in the command line you show means, roughly, “every subtree”, so it syncs that filename in all branches under your depot. Instead you can give the full path — either in local, or depot form — of the file you actually want:

# sync everything in a branch
p4 sync -n -f //depot/path/to/branch/...    

# sync only one file in a branch
p4 sync -n -f //depot/path/to/branch/.../filename.ext
