Question

I am new to Perforce. Could you add a new folder under the branch in the depot? I also tried to add one in my workplace but how could I get it to the depot? Do I have to do a merge/integrate or something?

Thanks.

Answer 1

From your local workspace, create your folder and a file you want to go inside it. Then either mark it as add from the visual client, or go into the folder from the command line, and type…

p4 add ./new_folder/new_file_name.ext

When you submit, the new file and folder will be in your repository. This assumes that new_folder is a subfolder of your existing workspace. Please let me know if it isn’t and I’ll update my answer.

Above command will add files under default changelist. And later if you want to see the if files are really added in default changelist

p4 opened

And for the submission of opened files, under the default changelist, to depot

p4 submit
