I'm using P4V to view my perforce workspace. I've changed multiple files in multiple directories within the workspace. Is there a way to create a diff that includes all these changes so I can upload it for code review? I apologize if this is a trivial task. I am new to Perforce and I'm still learning the terminology and the tools after spending a few years with Accurev and Git.

  • Just run 'p4 diff' at the command line; it will show you your diffs. It has multiple options, for example 'p4 diff -du' displays a diff in "unified" format. – Bryan Pendleton Oct 30 '14 at 20:24
  • @BryanPendleton Sadly, `p4 diff` for some unfathomable reason does not accept a change number as an argument; you can diff your entire client (with no arguments), diff a tree (with `...`), or diff individual files. – jamesdlin Nov 04 '14 at 18:48

The standard mechanism for code review in Perforce is to put all of the work into a changelist and "shelve" it so that it's visible to other Perforce users before being fully committed. Other users can view the diffs and/or "unshelve" your changelist into their own workspaces so that they can test your changes directly.
