p4 move
Synopsis
Move (rename) a file from one location to another.
Syntax
p4 [g-opts] move [-c change] [-k] [-n] [-t filetype] fromFile toFile
Description
The p4 move command takes a file already opened for edit or add and moves it to the destination provided.
An open file can be moved many times before it is submitted; moving a file back to its original location undoes the pending move, leaving it open for edit. Using p4 revert on a moved file both undoes the move and reverts the unsubmitted content.
Options
-c change
-t filetype
Keep existing workspace files by bypassing the renaming in the client workspace. Use p4 move -k only in the context of reconciling work performed while disconnected from the Perforce Server.
