Using Perforce

Perforce is a fast software configuration management system developed by Perforce Software.

Since Qt Creator 4.9, the Perforce plugin is disabled by default. To enable it, select Help > About Plugins > Version Control > Perforce . Then select Restart Now to restart Qt Creator and load the plugin.

Configuring Perforce

In the Perforce options, you can specify workspace details: P4 user , P4 client ,和 P4 port . To specify the details individually for several projects, use configuration files instead. Create a p4config.txt configuration file for each project in the top level project directory.

Editing Files

In addition to the standard version control system functions described in Using Common Functions , you can select 工具 > Perforce > Edit File to open a file for editing within the client workspace. By default, files are automatically opened for editing. To disable this feature, select 工具 > Options > Version Control > Perforce , and then deselect the Automatically open files when editing check box.

To list files that are open for editing, select 工具 > Perforce > Opened .

To group files for commit, select 工具 > Perforce > Pending Changes .

To view information about changelists and the files in them, select 工具 > Perforce > Describe .

By default, you are prompted to confirm that you want to submit changes. To suppress the prompt, select 工具 > Options > Version Control > Perforce , and then deselect the Prompt on submit check box.
