WORKSPACE CREATE
Description
Creates a new workspace.
Usage
cm workspace | wk [create | mk] <rep_spec> [create | mk] <wk_name> <wk_path> [<rep_spec>] [create | mk] <wk_name> <wk_path> [--selector[=<selector_file>]
(Creates a new workspace.)
cm workspace | wk [create | mk] <wk_name> <wk_path> --dynamic --tree=[<tree>]
(Creates a dynamic workspace. This feature is still experimental, and it's only available for Windows.)
Options
| Option / Argument | Description |
|---|---|
| --selector | Edits a selector for the new workspace. If a selector file is specified, then sets the selector for the new workspace from the specified file. |
| --dynamic | Creates a dynamic workspace. This feature is still experimental, and it's only available for Windows. Specifying this flag requires using the --tree parameter. |
| --tree | Used with the '--dynamic' flag, specifies the initial point the dynamic workspace is going to load. It can either be a branch, changeset, or label specification. The workspace will later on use the repository in the spec. (Use 'cm help objectspec' to learn more about specs.) |
| wk_name | The new workspace name. |
| wk_path | Path of the new workspace. |
| rep_spec | Creates the new workspace with the specified repository. Repository specification: check 'cm help objectspec'. |
Help
Remarks
- A workspace is a view of the repository mapped to the local filesystem. The workspace selector defines the rules that specify workspace content. Use 'cm showselector' to display a workspace selector or 'cm setselector' to modify it.
- If neither rep_spec nor '--selector' is specified, then the workspace will automatically be configured to use the first repository (alphabetically) of the server configured in the client.conf file.
- The dynamic workspaces is a experimental feature (Windows only), and it requires the plasticfs.exe program running.
Examples
cm workspace create mycode
cm wk mk mycode
(Creates a 'mycode' workspace pointing to the repository with the same name. The workspace directory will be created under the current directory.)
cm wk mk mycode@localhost:8084
cm wk mk mycode@myorganization@cloud
(Creates a 'mycode' workspace as before, but you can specify different repository server.)
cm workspace create myworkspace c:\workspace
cm wk mk myworkspace /home/john/plastic_view
(Creates 'myworkspace' workspace in Windows and in Linux respectively.)
cm wk mywktest c:\wks\wktest --selector=myselector.txt
(Creates 'mywktest' workspace using the selector in 'myselector.txt' file.)
cm wk mywkprj c:\wks\wkprj myrep@repserver:localhost:8084
(Creates 'mywkprj' workspace with the selected repository.)
cm wk mywkprj c:\dynwks\mywkprj --dynamic --tree=br:/main@myrep@localhost:8084
(Creates dynamic 'mywkprj' workspace with the 'myrep@localhost:8084' repository, pointing to 'br:/main' the first time it gets mounted.)
