CHANGELIST
Description
Groups pending changes in changelists.
Usage
cm changelist | clist [--symlink]
(Displays all changelists.)
cm changelist | clist create <clist_name> [<clist_desc>] [--persistent | --notpersistent] [--symlink]
(Creates a changelist.)
cm changelist | clist delete <clist_name> [--symlink]
(Deletes the selected changelist. If this changelist contains pending changes, then these will be moved to the default changelist.)
cm changelist | clist edit <clist_name> [<action_name> <action_value>] [--persistent | --notpersistent] [--symlink]
(Edits the selected changelist.)
cm changelist | clist <clist_name> (add | rm) <path_name>[ ...] [--symlink]
(Edits the selected changelist by adding ('add') or removing ('rm') the change(s) that match with the given path_name(s). Use a whitespace to separate path_names. Use double quotes (" ") to specify paths containing spaces. The status of the paths must be 'Added' or 'Checked-out'.)
Options
| Option / Argument | Description |
|---|---|
| clist_name | The name of the changelist. A path to a file containing the name can be used instead. More info at --namefile. |
| clist_desc | The description of the changelist. A path to a file containing the description can be used instead. More info at --descriptionfile. |
| action_name | Choose between 'rename' or 'description' to edit the changelist. |
| action_value | Applies the new name or new description when editing the changelist. |
| --persistent | The changelist will remain in the workspace even if its contents are checked-in or reverted. |
| --notpersistent | (Default) The changelist will not remain in the workspace even if its contents are checked-in or reverted. |
| --symlink | Applies the operation to the symlink and not to the target. |
| --namefile | A valid path to a file containing the name of the changelist. Bear in mind the file must exist and its content cannot be neither empty nor multiline. |
| --newnamefile | A valid path to a file containing the new name of the changelist when renaming. Bear in mind the file must exist and its content cannot be neither empty nor multiline. |
| --descriptionfile | A valid path to a file containing the description for the changelist. Bear in mind the file must exist. |
Help
Remarks
The 'changelist' command handles both the workspace pending changelists and the changes contained in a changelist.
Examples
cm changelist
(Shows the current workspace changelists.)
cm changelist create config_changes "dotConf files" --persistent
(Creates a new changelist named 'config_changes' and description 'dotConf files' which will remain persistent in the current workspace once the pending changelist is either checked-in or reverted.)
cm changelist create --namefile="name.txt" --descriptionfile="desc.txt"
(Creates a new changelist which name and description are both taken from files.)
cm changelist edit config_changes rename config_files --notpersistent
(Edits the changelist named 'config_changes' and renames it to 'config_files'. Also, it turns the changelist into "not persistent".)
cm changelist edit config_changes --notpersistent
(Edits the changelist named 'config_changes' by turning it into "not persistent".)
cm changelist delete config_files
(Removes the pending changelist 'config_files' from the current workspace.)
cm changelist delete --namefile="name.txt"
(Removes the changelist identified by the content of 'name.txt' file from the current workspace.)
cm changelist config_files add foo.conf
(Adds the file 'foo.conf' to the 'config_files' changelist.)
cm changelist config_files rm foo.conf readme.txt
(Removes the files 'foo.conf' and 'readme.txt' from the 'config_files' changelist and moves the files to the system default changelist.)
cm changelist edit --namefile="name.txt" description --descriptionfile="desc.txt"
(Edits the changelist identified by the content of 'name.txt' file, changing its description to the text content of the 'desc.txt' file.)
