p4 submit (graph)

Commit open files to the repo.

Syntax

p4 submit [-i -c changelistNumber -d desc --allow-empty] [--parallel=threads=N[,batch=N][,min=N]]

Syntax conventions

Description

Commits a pending changelistNumber and its files to the repo, constructing a new commit and updating the current branch to refer to the new commit. By default, this command attempts to submit all files in the default changelist. Submit displays a dialog where you enter a description of the change and, optionally, delete files from the list of files to be checked in. To add files to a changelist before submitting, use any of the commands that open client workspace files such as p4 add or p4 edit.

Options

--allow-empty	Permit submitting with no file changes.
-c changelistNumber	Submit the specified pending changelist instead of the default changelist. Additional changelists can be created manually, using the p4 change command, or automatically as the result of a failed attempt to submit the default changelist. The pending changelist is deleted during the submit process. The result of the submit is a new commit identified by its SHA-1.
-d description	Immediately submit the default changelist with the description supplied on the command line, and bypass the interactive form. This option is useful when scripting, but does not allow for the default changelist to be modified.
-i	Read a changelist specification from the standard input. The user's editor is not invoked.
--parallel	Specify options for parallel file transfer. The configurable net.parallel.max must be set to a value greater than 1 to enable the --parallel option. threads=n sends files concurrently using n independent network connections. The specified threads grab work in batches. batch=n specifies the number of files in a batch. min=n specifies the minimum number of files in a parallel sync. A sync that is too small will not initiate parallel file transfers. See Parallel processing .
