快读上手perforce（Quick read, get started, perforce） [concept] First talk about the concept, general version control software will be divided into client and server, server is responsible for some management code and document warehouse control, each user permissions, the recorded version upgrade history and things like that, client uses a client connected to the server to complete the code, modify the document and submit work, perforce is no exception. On the server side, perforce is very streamlined, not too much dependence, a p4d to get, and the configuration is also very simple, its main task is to manage a file warehouse depot. User and workspace two concepts on the client side, user as a user is registered in the server, each user can have zero or more workspace, or even switch to others workspace up, as long as the authority. Simply say workspace is depot to a local mapping, for example, wrote //depot/foo/... //myspace/bar/... The depot inside the foo directory all mapped to the local bar directory inside, Myspace and specific workspace, in the setting of workspace when you can set its absolute path. [configuration before connection] First, we need a user, assuming that there is a user test, and there is no password. $P4CONFIG=p4conf.conf; export P4CONFIG Use under Windows P4 set P4CONFIG=p4conf.conf This command sets an environment variable P4CONFIG, the file name can be defined by itself, which can store the clients configuration. In the UNIX system configuration information can write environment variable, windows can be written to the registry, but I prefer to create a configuration file in one directory, so you can easily switch to different workspace. Then we can start editing the p4conf.conf configuration file. The format is simple and is in the form of setting=value. Create a workspace directory and build a new p4conf.conf file in it, as follows: P4PORT=192.168.0.1:1666 P4USER=test P4CLIENT=test-client This is the simplest configuration file, P4PORT named th
