how to sync the perforce client to a particular change list using p4 sync command

Question

let us assume depot contains change lists :

change lists : 300 299 280 270 260

I would like to sync my client at change list 280.

if i do p4 sync : my client will be updated with cl : 300 (latest one) which i'm not looking for.

How can we achieve this ?

Answer 1

Perforce uses "@" to indicate change number, so

p4 sync @280

How do we confirm that we are on that change number once we execute the command? – Homing

@Homing you can try using p4 changes -m 1 //...#have it will show the changelist number along with short description for local workspace you're on. – Standby

Whats the difference between p4 sync @280 and p4 sync ... @280 – Homing

@Homing ... is the path. There's no difference between the two but you can use it to specify a subpath - dir/... for example, which will only sync that directory. – Anchises

Answer 2

p4 sync ...@280

Accepted answer didn't work for me

To check latest synced CL: p4 changes -m1 //...#have

Shouldn't it be //...@280 ? If you're in the client root directory, then what you have should work, but if you're not, best provide the full spec. – Uprear
