== CMD_DESCRIPTION_ACL == Sets permissions on an object. == CMD_USAGE_ACL == Usage: cm ^acl (--^user= | --^group=) (-^allowed|-^denied|-^overrideallowed|-^overridedenied=+|-[,...])[,...] --^user User name. --^group Group name. -^allowed Enables the specified permission or permissions. Use a comma to separate permissions. (Use 'cm ^showpermissions' to display all the available permissions.) -^denied Denies the specified permission or permission. Use a comma to separate permissions. (Use 'cm ^showpermissions' to display all the available permissions.) -^overrideallowed Overrides the allowed permission or permissions. Use a comma to separate permissions. (Use 'cm ^showpermissions' to display all the available permissions.) -^overridedenied Overrides the denied permission or permissions. Use a comma to separate permissions. (Use 'cm ^showpermissions' to display all the available permissions.) objectspec The object whose permissions will be set. The valid objects for this command are: repserver, repository, branch, label, and attribute. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about specs.) Special usage for secured paths: cm ^acl [(--^user= | --^group=) (-^allowed|-^denied|-^overrideallowed|-^overridedenied=+|-[,...])[,...]] [--^delete] [--^branches=[+ | -][,...]] --^delete Removes a secured path. See Remarks for more info. --^branches Sets the secured path permissions to a group of branches. Use a comma to separate branches. Optionally, each branch can be preceded by the + or - sign to specify whether a branch must be added or deleted to the list when editing. See Remarks for more info. spec The secured path where to set the permissions. == CMD_HELP_ACL == Configuring permissions requires understanding how Unity VCS security works. Check the Security Guide to learn how permissions work: https://www.plasticscm.com/download/help/securityguide Remarks: This command sets permissions for a user or group on the specified objects, repositories, branches, labels and/or server paths. Object specs: (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn how to specify objects.) The '^acl' command uses a special type of spec: secured paths. - Secured paths specs: ^path:server_path[#tag] Examples: ^path:/src/foo.c ^path:/doc/pdf ^path:/doc/pdf#documents Permission action: Use -^allowed and -^denied to specify what permissions to set. Use -^overrideallowed and -^overridedenied arguments to specify what permissions to override. Each action requires a permission list separated by commas. Permission names: Each permission name is preceded by + or - symbol. The + symbol sets the permission and the - symbol clears it. To see the permissions of an object, use the 'cm ^showacl' command. Overridden permissions: Overriding a permission using -^overrideallowed and -^overridedenied allows you to bypass inheritance. It is helpful to bypass permissions set at the repository or server level. Example: cm ^acl --^user=vio -^allowed=+^ci -^overrideallowed=+^ci ^br:qa@test (Allows user 'vio' to checkin on the branch 'qa' on repo 'test' even if she has the permission denied at the repo level.) Server path permissions (a.k.a. secured paths): - It is possible to specify permissions for a given server path. - These permissions are checked during the checkin operation. - These permissions can also be checked during the update operation, and can be used as a way to prevent certain directories and files to be downloaded to the workspace. - For every item to checkin, the server tries to match the item path with a secured path. If it matches, the checkin operation checks whether the item has permissions to be checked in. The permissions that can be defined for a secured path are the following: '^ci', '^change', '^add', '^move', '^rm', '^read' If the permissions check is not successful for any of the involved items, the checkin operation will be rolled back. To set secured path permissions to a group of branches, use the --^branches option. Example: cm ^acl --^user=jo -^denied=+^ci ^path:/src#rule0 --^branches=main,main/rel0 To edit the ACL associated to the secured path, the tag is useful. Example: cm ^acl --^user=jo -^denied=+^rm ^path:/src#rule0 (Without the tag, the list of branches would need to be specified again.) The list of branches of the secured path can be edited. Example: cm ^acl ^path:/src#rule0 --^branches=-main,+main/rel1 (Removes 'main' from the list and adds 'main/rel1'.) To remove a secured path, use the --^delete argument. Example: cm ^acl --^user=jo --^delete ^path:/src#rule0 Inheritance: Inheritance is an option that comes from the days of Plastic SCM 3.0. It is advanced, but almost deprecated. It lets an object inherit its permissions from any other object, overriding the default inheritance relationships. Use the option -^cut to cut the inheritance chain. Use the option -^cutncpy to cut and copy the current inherited permissions. (This is inspired on the Windows filesystem permissions where you can cut inheritance but retain the actual permissions.) The -^inherit option allows the user to inherit from an object spec. Example: '-^inherit=object_spec' Examples: cm ^acl --^user=danipen -^denied=+^ci ^rep:core (Denies checkin for user 'danipen' on repo 'core'.) cm ^acl --^group=developers -^allowed=+^view,-^read -^denied=+^chgperm ^br:main (The command grants view permission, clears read permission, and denies chgperm permission to 'developers' group in 'main' branch.) Secured path examples: cm ^acl --^group=devs -^denied=+^ci ^path:/server#rel --^branches=main,main/2.0 (The command denies the checkin permission to 'devs' group for any path that matches '/server' in the branches 'main' and 'main/2.0'. The tag '#rel' is created to be able to refer to it later.) cm ^acl ^path:/server#rel --^branches=-/main,+/main/Rel2.1 (Updates the secured path '/server' whose tag is 'rel', removing the 'main' branch and adding the branch 'main/Rel2.1' to the branch group the secured path applies to. Considering the previous example, now the branches list will contain 'main/Rel2.1' and 'main/2.0'.) cm ^acl --^user=vsanchezm -^allowed=-^read -^overrideallowed=+^read ^path:/doc (Removes '^read' permission to 'vsanchezm' overriding it in '/doc' path.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_ACTIVATEUSER == Activates a licensed user. == CMD_USAGE_ACTIVATEUSER == Usage: cm ^activateuser | ^au [ ...] [--^server=] user-name The user name or user names to activate. Use double quotes (" ") to specify user names containing spaces. Use a whitespace to separate user names. Options: --^server= Activates the user in the specified server. If no server is specified, executes the command in the default server in the client.conf file. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about repserver specs.) == CMD_HELP_ACTIVATEUSER == Remarks: To activate a user, it must have been previously deactivated. By default, a user is activated the first time they perform a write operation in Unity VCS. The user is automatically activated only if the maximum number of users has not been exceeded. (See the 'cm ^help ^deactivateuser' command for more information about deactivating Unity VCS users.) Examples: cm ^activateuser john cm ^activateuser david "mary collins" cm ^au peter --^server=localhost:8087 == CMD_DESCRIPTION_ADD == Adds an item to version control. == CMD_USAGE_ADD == Usage: cm ^add [-^R | -^r | --^recursive] [--^silent] [--^ignorefailed] [--^skipcontentcheck] [--^coparent] [--^filetypes=] [--^noinfo] [--^format=] [--^errorformat=] [ ...] item-path The item or items to add. Use double quotes (" ") to specify paths containing spaces. Use a whitespace to separate items. Use * to add all the contents of the current directory. Options: -^R -^r --^recursive Adds items recursively. --^silent Does not show any output. --^ignorefailed If an item cannot be added, the add operation will continue without it. Note: If a directory cannot be added, its content is not added. --^skipcontentcheck When the extension is not enough to set the file as text or binary, it will be set as binary instead of checking the content to detect the type. This is done to increase performance on huge checkins. --^coparent Runs a checkout of the parent of the item being added. --^filetypes The filetypes file to use. Check the following link for more information: http://blog.plasticscm.com/2008/03/custom-file-types.html --^noinfo Doesn't print progress information. --^format Retrieves the output message in a specific format. Check the examples for more information. --^errorformat Retrieves the error message (if any) in a specific format. Check the examples for more information. == CMD_HELP_ADD == Remarks: Requirements to add items: - The parent directory of the item to add must have been previously added. Reading input from stdin: The '^add' command can read paths from stdin. To do this, pass a single dash "-". Example: cm ^add - Paths will be read until an empty line is entered. This allows you to use pipe to specify which files to add. Example: dir /S /B *.c | cm ^add - (In Windows, adds all .c files in the workspace.) Examples: cm ^add file1.txt file2.txt (Adds 'file1.txt' and 'file2.txt' items.) cm ^add c:\workspace\file.txt (Adds 'file.txt' item in path 'c:\workspace'.) cm ^add -^R c:\workspace\src (Recursively adds 'src'.) cm ^add -^R * (Recursively adds all the contents of the current directory.) cm ^add -^R * --^filetypes=filetypes.conf (Recursively adds all the contents of the current directory, using 'filetypes.conf' to assign a type to each file based on its extension, instead of checking its content.) cm ^add --^coparent c:\workspace\dir\file.txt (Adds 'file.txt' to source control, and performs a checkout of 'dir'.) cm ^add -^R * --^format="ADD {0}" --^errorformat="ERR {0}" (Recursively adds all the contents of the current directory, printing '^ADD ' for successfully added files, and '^ERR ' for items that could not be added.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_ADMIN == Executes administrative commands on the server. == CMD_USAGE_ADMIN == Usage: cm ^admin [options] Available commands: ^readonly To get more information about each command run: cm ^admin --^usage cm ^admin --^help == CMD_HELP_ADMIN == Remarks: Only the server administrator can execute administrative commands. Examples: cm ^admin ^readonly ^enter cm ^admin ^readonly ^status == CMD_DESCRIPTION_ADMIN_READONLY == Enables/disables the server readonly mode. == CMD_USAGE_ADMIN_READONLY == Usage: cm ^admin ^readonly (^enter | ^leave | ^status) [] Actions: ^enter The server enters read-only mode. Write operations will be rejected. ^leave The server leaves read-only mode. ^status Shows the server read-only mode status. Options: server Executes the command in the specified server (server:port). (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about server specs.) If no server is specified, the command works with the server of the current workspace. If the current path is not in a workspace, the command works with the default server defined in the client.conf config file. == CMD_HELP_ADMIN_READONLY == Remarks: Only the server administrator can enter the server readonly mode. Examples: cm ^admin ^readonly ^enter diana:8086 cm ^admin ^readonly ^leave == CMD_DESCRIPTION_ANNOTATE == Shows the changeset where each line of a file was last modified and its author. == CMD_USAGE_ANNOTATE == Usage: cm ^annotate | ^blame [ ...] [--^format=] [--^comparisonmethod=(^ignoreeol | ^ignorewhitespaces | ^ignoreeolandwhitespaces | ^recognizeall)] [--^dateformat=] [--^encoding=] [--^stats] [--^repository=] spec The spec of the file to annotate.

See Remarks for more info. --^comparisonmethod Sets the specified comparison method. See Remarks for more info. --^dateformat Sets the output format to print dates. --^encoding Specifies the output encoding, i.e.: utf-8. See the MSDN documentation at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.text.encoding.aspx to get the table of supported encodings and its format, (at the end of the page, in the "Name" column). --^stats Shows statistics information. --^repository Specifies a repository spec used to calculate the annotations. By default, this command uses the repository where the loaded revision repository in the workspace is stored. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about repspecs.) == CMD_HELP_ANNOTATE == Remarks: Binary files can't be annotated. Comparison methods (--^comparisonmethod option): ^ignoreeol Ignores the end of line differences. ^ignorewhitespaces Ignores the whitespace differences. ^ignoreeolandwhitespaces Ignores the end of line and whitespace differences. ^recognizeall Detects the end of line and whitespace differences.

Useful for distributed scenarios. Examples: cm ^blame c:\workspace\src --^comparisonmethod=^ignoreeolandwhitespaces --^encoding=utf-8 cm ^annotate c:\workspace\file.txt --^comparisonmethod=^ignoreeol cm ^annotate c:\workspace\file.txt --^format="{^owner} {^date, 10} {^content}" (Writes the owner field, then a blank, then the date field (aligned to right), then a blank, and the content.) cm ^blame c:\workspace\file.txt --^format="{^owner, -7} {^comment} {^date}" \ --^dateformat=yyyyMMdd (Writes the owner field in 7 spaces (aligned to the left) followed by a blank, then the comment, followed by another blank, and ending with the formatted date (for example, 20170329).) cm ^annotate c:\workspace\file.txt --^repository=centralRep@myserver:8084 cm ^blame ^serverpath:/src/client/checkin/Checkin.cs#^cs:73666 (Annotates the file starting in changeset 73666 using a server path.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_APPLY_LOCAL == Checks for local changes (locally moved, locally deleted, and locally changed) and applies them, so that Unity VCS starts tracking those changes. == CMD_USAGE_APPLY_LOCAL == Usage: cm ^applylocal | ^al [--^dependencies] [[ ...]] [--^machinereadable [--^startlineseparator=] [--^endlineseparator=] [--^fieldseparator=]] Options: --^dependencies Adds local change dependencies into the items to apply. item_path Items to be applied. Use a whitespace to separate paths. Use double quotes (" ") to specify paths containing spaces. --^machinereadable Outputs the result in an easy-to-parse format. --^startlineseparator Used with the '--^machinereadable' flag, specifies how the lines should start. --^endlineseparator Used with the '--^machinereadable' flag, specifies how the lines should end. --^fieldseparator Used with the '--^machinereadable' flag, specifies how the fields should be separated. == CMD_HELP_APPLY_LOCAL == Remarks: - If --^dependencies and are not specified, the operation involves all the local changes in the workspace. - It is always applied recursively from the given path. Examples: cm ^applylocal foo.c bar.c cm ^applylocal . (Applies all local changes in the current directory.) cm ^applylocal (Applies all local changes in the workspace.) cm ^applylocal --^machinereadable (Applies all local changes in the workspace, and prints the result in a simplified, easier-to-parse format.) cm ^applylocal --^machinereadable --^startlineseparator=">" \ --^endlineseparator="<" --^fieldseparator="," (Applies all local changes in the workspace, and prints the result in a simplified, easier-to-parse format, starting and ending the lines and separating the fields with the specified strings.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_ARCHIVE == Archives data in external storage. == CMD_USAGE_ARCHIVE == Usage: cm ^archive | ^arch [ ...] [-^c=] [--^file=] (Extracts data from the repository and stores it on external storage.) cm ^archive | ^arch [ ...] --^restore (Restores previously archived revisions back into the repository.) revspec One or more revision specs. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about revspecs.) --^restore Restores previously archived data from generated archive files. The external storage location and the externaldata.conf file must be available at the moment of the revision restoration. See Remarks for more information. Options: -^c Sets a comment in the archive storage files to create. --^file Name prefix and (optional) path for the new archive data files. == CMD_HELP_ARCHIVE == Remarks: This command extracts data from the repository database and store it on external storage, saving database space. The command can also restore (--^restore) previously archived revisions back into the repository database. Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn how to specify a revspec. The user running this command must be the Unity VCS server administrator (repository server owner) to be allowed to complete the operation. Every data segment from the specified revisions will be stored in a different file, with a name starting with the value defined by the --^file argument. This argument can contain either a full path value including a prefix for future archive files or just this prefix value. Once archived, the data from the specified revisions will be accessible in two ways: 1. From the client: The client will detect if the data was archived and it will prompt the user to enter the location of the files. Users can configure the external data location by creating a file named externaldata.conf (at the standard configuration files locations, using the same rules that apply for the client.conf file) containing the paths where archived data have been located. 2. From the server: This way users won't have to know whether the data was archived or not, since requests will be transparently resolved by the server. To do so, the administrator will create a file called externaldata.conf in the server directory and will fill it with the paths where the archived volumes are. To unarchive (restore) a revision (or set of revisions), the archived files must be accessible from the client. Hence, it is not possible to unarchive data being resolved by the server (method 2) because the client will not be able to identify it as archived. If method 2 is used, to unarchive successfully, the administrator will have to edit the externaldata.conf server file first to remove access to the archived files which have to be unarchived. Archive example: 1) Archive one revision: cm ^archive Assets/RoofTextures/Textures/Wooden_Roof_05.png --^file=/Users/ruben/archive/battle 2) See the archived revision in the specified output path: ^ls -^al /Users/ruben/archive/battle* -rw-r--r-- 1 ruben staff 2220039 Nov 9 10:52 /Users/ruben/archive/battle-100280-167 Unarchive (restore) example: 1) Add the output archive folder to the externaldata.conf file: ^vi /Users/ruben/.plastic4/externaldata.conf /Users/ruben/archive 2) Unarchive the revision: cm ^archive Assets/RoofTextures/Textures/Wooden_Roof_05.png --^restore Set the PLASTICEDITOR environment variable to specify an editor for entering comments. If the PLASTICEDITOR environment variable is set, and the comment is empty, the editor will be automatically launched to allow you to specify the comment. Reading input from stdin: The '^archive' command can read paths from stdin. To do this, pass a single dash "-". Example: cm ^archive - Paths will be read until an empty line is entered. This allows you to use pipe to specify which files to archive. Example: dir /S /B *.c | cm ^archive - (In Windows, archives all .c files in the workspace.) Examples: cm ^archive bigfile.zip#^br:/^main (Archives the last revision of 'bigfile.zip' in branch 'main'.) cm ^archive bigfile.zip#^br:/^main --^restore (Restores the archived revision.) cm ^archive ^rev:myfile.pdf#^cs:2 -^c="big pdf file" --^file=c:\arch_files\arch (Archives the revision with changeset 2 of myfile.pdf in 'c:\archived_files' folder. The archived file name will start with 'arch' (for example, arch_11_56).) cm ^find "^revs ^where ^size > 26214400" --^format="{^item}#{^branch}" \ --^nototal | cm ^archive -^c="volume00" --^file="volume00" - (Archives all the files bigger than 25Mb on files starting with name 'volume00'.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_ATTRIBUTE == Allows the user to manage attributes. == CMD_USAGE_ATTRIBUTE == Usage: cm ^attribute | ^att [options] Commands: ^create | ^mk ^delete | ^rm ^set ^unset ^rename ^edit To get more information about each command run: cm ^attribute --^usage cm ^attribute --^help == CMD_HELP_ATTRIBUTE == Examples: cm ^attribute ^create status cm ^attribute ^set ^att:status ^br:/main/SCM105 open cm ^attribute ^unset ^att:status ^br:/main/SCM105 cm ^attribute ^delete ^att:status cm ^attribute ^rename ^att:status "buildStatus" cm ^attribute ^edit ^att:status "Status of the task in the CI pipeline" == CMD_DESCRIPTION_CHANGELIST == Groups pending changes in changelists. == CMD_USAGE_CHANGELIST == Usage: a) Management of changelists objects: cm ^changelist | ^clist [--^symlink] (Displays all changelists.) cm ^changelist | ^clist ^create [] [--^persistent | --^notpersistent] [--^symlink] (Creates a changelist.) cm ^changelist | ^clist ^delete [--^symlink] (Deletes the selected changelist.

Use . to apply checkin to current directory. -^c Applies the specified comment to the changeset created in the checkin operation. -^commentsfile Applies the comment in the specified file to the changeset created in the checkin operation. --^all | -^a The items changed, moved and deleted locally on the given paths are also included. --^applychanged Applies the checkin operation to the changed items detected in the workspace along with the checked out items. --^private Private items detected in the workspace are also included. --^update Processes the update-merge automatically if it eventually happens. --^symlink Applies the checkin operation to the symlink and not to the target. --^noshowchangeset Doesn't print the result changeset. --^machinereadable Outputs the result in an easy-to-parse format. --^startlineseparator Used with the '--^machinereadable' flag, specifies how the lines should start. --^endlineseparator Used with the '--^machinereadable' flag, specifies how the lines should end. --^fieldseparator Used with the '--^machinereadable' flag, specifies how the fields should be separated. == CMD_HELP_CHECKIN == Remarks: - If is not specified, the checkin involves all the pending changes in the workspace. - The checkin operation is always applied recursively from the given path. - To checkin an item: - The item must be under source code control. - If the item is private (not under source code control), the --^private flag is necessary in order to checkin it. - The item must be checked out. - If the item is changed but not checked out, the --^applychanged flag is not necessary unless is a directory or it contains wildcards ('*'). Revision content should be different from previous revision in order to be checked in. Set the PLASTICEDITOR environment variable to specify an editor for entering comments. If the PLASTICEDITOR environment variable is set, and the comment is empty, the editor will be automatically launched to allow you to specify the comment. Reading input from stdin: The '^checkin' command can read paths from stdin. To do this, pass a single dash "-". Example: cm ^checkin - Paths will be read until an empty line is entered. This allows you to use pipe to specify which files to checkin. Example: dir /S /B *.c | cm ^checkin --^all - (In Windows, checkins all .c files in the workspace.) Examples: cm ^checkin file1.txt file2.txt (Checkins the 'file1.txt' and 'file2.txt' checked-out files.) cm ^checkin . -^commentsfile=mycomment.txt (Checkins the current directory and sets the comment in the 'mycomment.txt' file.) cm ^checkin link --^symlink (Checkins the symlink file and not the target.) cm ^ci file1.txt -^c="my comment" (Checkins 'file1.txt' and includes a comment.) cm ^status --^short --^compact --^changelist=pending_to_review | cm ^checkin - (Lists the paths in the changelist named 'pending_to_review' and redirects this list to the input of the checkin command.) cm ^ci . --^machinereadable (Checkins the current directory, and prints the result in a simplified, easier-to-parse format.) cm ^ci . --^machinereadable --^startlineseparator=">" --^endlineseparator="<" --^fieldseparator="," (Checkins the current directory, and prints the result in a simplified, easier-to-parse format, starting and ending the lines, and separating the fields with the specified strings.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_CHECKOUT == Marks files as ready to modify. == CMD_USAGE_CHECKOUT == Usage: cm ^checkout | ^co [[ ...]] [-^R | -^r | --^recursive] [--^format=] [--^errorformat=] [--^resultformat=] [--^silent] [--^symlink] [--^ignorefailed] [--^machinereadable [--^startlineseparator=] [--^endlineseparator=] [--^fieldseparator=]] Options: item_path Items to be checked-out. Use double quotes (" ") to specify paths containing spaces. Use a whitespace to separate item paths. Use . to apply checkout to current directory. -^R Checks out files recursively. --^format Retrieves the output progress message in a specific format. Check the examples for more information. --^resultformat Retrieves the output result message in a specific format. Check the examples for more information. --^silent Does not show any output at all. --^symlink Applies the checkout operation to the symlink and not to the target. --^ignorefailed If an item cannot be locked (the exclusive checkout cannot be performed), the checkout operation will continue without it. --^machinereadable Outputs the result in an easy-to-parse format. --^startlineseparator Used with the '--^machinereadable' flag, specifies how the lines should start. --^endlineseparator Used with the '--^machinereadable' flag, specifies how the lines should end. --^fieldseparator Used with the '--^machinereadable' flag, specifies how the fields should be separated. == CMD_HELP_CHECKOUT == Remarks: To checkout an item: - The item must be under source code control. - The item must be checked-in. If locks are configured on the server (lock.conf exists), then each time a checkout on a path happens, Unity VCS checks if it meets any of the rules and if so, the path will be in exclusive checkout (locked) so that none can simultaneously checkout. You can get all the locks in the server by using 'cm ^lock ^list'. See the Administrator Guide for more information: https://www.plasticscm.com/download/help/adminguide The format string replaces the placeholder '{0}' with the path of the item being checked out. Check the examples to see how to use it. Reading input from stdin: The '^checkout' command can read paths from stdin. To do this, pass a single dash "-". Example: cm ^checkout - Paths will be read until an empty line is entered. This allows you to use pipe to specify which files to checkout. Example: dir /S /B *.c | cm ^checkout - (In Windows, checkouts all .c files in the workspace.) Examples: cm ^checkout file1.txt file2.txt (Checkouts 'file1.txt' and 'file2.txt' files.) cm ^co *.txt (Checkouts all txt files.) cm ^checkout . (Checkouts current directory.) cm ^checkout -^R c:\workspace\src (Recursively checkouts 'src' folder.) cm ^co file.txt --^format="Checking out item {0}" --^resultformat="Item {0} checked out" (Checkouts 'file.txt' using the specified formatting strings to show the progress and the result of the operation.) cm ^checkout link --^symlink (Checkouts the symlink file and not the target.) cm ^checkout . -^R --^ignorefailed (Recursively checkouts the current folder, ignoring those files that can not be checked out.) cm ^co . --^machinereadable --^startlineseparator=">" (Checkouts the current directory, and prints the result in a simplified, easier-to-parse format, starting the lines with the specified strings.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_CHECKSELECTORSYNTAX == Checks the syntax of a selector. == CMD_USAGE_CHECKSELECTORSYNTAX == Usage: cm ^checkselectorsyntax | ^css --^file= (Checks the selector file syntax.) ^cat | cm ^checkselectorsyntax | ^css - (Unix. Checks selector file from standard input.) ^type | cm ^checkselectorsyntax | ^css - (Windows. Checks selector file from standard input.) --^file The file to read a selector from. == CMD_HELP_CHECKSELECTORSYNTAX == Remarks: This command reads a selector on either a file or standard input, and checks it for valid syntax. If the syntax check fails, the reason is printed on standard output. Examples: cm ^checkselectorsyntax --^file=myselector.txt (Checks the syntax of 'myselector.txt' file.) ^cat myselector.txt | cm ^checkselectorsyntax (Checks the syntax of 'myselector.txt' from standard input.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_CHGREVTYPE == Changes an item revision type (binary or text). == CMD_USAGE_CHGREVTYPE == Usage: cm ^changerevisiontype | ^chgrevtype | ^crt [ ...] --^type=(^bin | ^txt) item_path Items to change revision type. Use double quotes (" ") to specify paths containing spaces. Use a whitespace to separate item paths. --^type Target revisions type. Choose '^bin' or '^txt'. == CMD_HELP_CHGREVTYPE == Remarks: This command can only be applied to files, not directories. The specified type must be a system supported one: '^bin' or '^txt' (binary or text). Examples: cm ^changerevisiontype c:\workspace\file.txt --^type=^txt (Changes 'file.txt' revision type to text.) cm ^chgrevtype comp.zip "image file.jpg" --^type=^bin (Changes 'comp.zip' and "image file.jpg" revision type to binary.) cm ^crt *.* --^type=^txt (Changes revision type of all files to text.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_TRIGGER_EDIT == Edits a trigger. == CMD_USAGE_TRIGGER_EDIT == Usage: cm ^trigger | ^tr ^edit [--^position=] [--^name=] [--^script=] [--^filter=] [--^server=] subtype_type Trigger execution and trigger operation. (Use 'cm ^showtriggertypes' to see a list of trigger types.) position_number Position occupied by the trigger to be modified. Options: --^position New position of the specified trigger. This position must not be in use by another trigger of the same type. --^name New name of the specified trigger. --^script New execution path of the specified trigger script. If the script starts with "^webtrigger ", it will be considered as a web trigger. See Remarks for more further details. --^filter Checks only items that match the specified filter. --^server Modifies the trigger on the specified server. If no server is specified, executes the command on the one configured on the client. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about server specs.) == CMD_HELP_TRIGGER_EDIT == Remarks: Web triggers: A web trigger is created by typing "^webtrigger " as the trigger command. In this case, the trigger will execute a POST query against the specified URI, where the request body contains a JSON dictionary with the trigger environment variables, and a fixed INPUT key pointing to an array of strings. Examples: cm ^trigger ^edit ^after-setselector 6 --^name="Backup2 manager" --^script="/new/path/al/script" cm ^tr ^edit ^before-mklabel 7 --^position=4 --^server=myserver:8084 cm ^trigger ^edit ^after-add 2 --^script="^webtrigger http://myserver.org/api" == CMD_DESCRIPTION_CODEREVIEW == Creates, edits, or deletes code reviews. == CMD_USAGE_CODEREVIEW == Usage: cm ^codereview [--^status=<status_name>] [--^assignee=<user_name>] [--^format=<str_format>] [--^repository=<rep_spec>] (Creates a code review.) cm ^codereview -^e <id> [--^status=<status_name>] [--^assignee=<user_name>] [--^repository=<rep_spec>] (Edits a code review.) cm ^codereview -^d <id> [ ...] [--^repository=<rep_spec>] (Deletes one or more code reviews.) spec It can be either a changeset spec, a shelve spec or a branch spec. It will be the target of the new code review. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about changeset or branch specs.) title A text string to be used as title of the new code review. id The code review identification number. A GUID can be used as well. Options: -^e Edits the parameters of an existing code review. -^d Deletes one or more existing code reviews. Use a whitespace to separate the code reviews IDs. --^status Sets the new status of a code review. See Remarks for additional information. --^assignee Sets the new assignee of a code review. --^format Retrieves the output message in a specific format. See Remarks for additional information. --^repository Sets the repository to be used as default. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about repository specs.) == CMD_HELP_CODEREVIEW == Remarks: This command allows users to manage code reviews: create, edit, and delete code reviews for changesets or branches. To create a new code review, a changeset/branch spec and a title are required. The initial status and assignee can be set, too. An ID (or GUID if requested) will be returned as a result. To edit or delete an existing code review, the target code review ID (or GUID) is required. No messages are displayed if there are no errors. The 'status parameter' must only be one of the following: ^"Under review" (default), ^"Reviewed", or ^"Rework required". The 'repository' parameter is available to set the default working repository. This is useful when the user wants to manage reviews on a server different than the one associated to the current workspace, or when there is no current workspace at all. Output format parameters (--^format option): This command accepts a format string to show the output. The output parameters of this command are the following: {0} id {1} guid Please note that the '--^format' parameter only takes effect when creating a new code review. Examples: cm ^codereview ^cs:1856@myrepo@myserver:8084 "My code review" --^assignee=dummy cm ^codereview ^br:/main/task001@myrepo@myserver:8084 "My code review" \ --^status=^"Rework required" --^assignee=newbie --^format="{^id} -> {^guid}" cm ^codereview 1367 -^e --^assignee=new_assignee cm ^codereview -^e 27658884-5dcc-49b7-b0ef-a5760ae740a3 --^status=Reviewed cm ^codereview -^d 1367 --^repository=myremoterepo@myremoteserver:18084 cm ^codereview 27658884-5dcc-49b7-b0ef-a5760ae740a3 -^d == CMD_DESCRIPTION_CRYPT == Encrypts a password. == CMD_USAGE_CRYPT == Usage: cm ^crypt <mypassword> mypassword Password to be encrypted. == CMD_HELP_CRYPT == Remarks: This command encrypts a given password passed as argument. It is designed to encrypt passwords in configuration files and increase safety. Examples: cm ^crypt dbconfpassword -> ENCRYPTED: encrypteddbconfpassword (Encrypts the password in the database configuration file: 'db.conf'.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_DEACTIVATEUSER == Deactivates a licensed user. == CMD_USAGE_DEACTIVATEUSER == Usage: cm ^deactivateuser | ^du <usr_name>[ ...] [--^server=<name:port>] [--^nosolveuser] usr_name The user name(s) to deactivate. Use a whitespace to separate user names. If SID, then '--^nosolveuser' is required. Options: --^server Deactivates the user on the specified server. If no server is specified, executes the command on the one configured on the client. --^nosolveuser With this option, the command will not check whether the user name exists on the authentication system. The <usr_name> must be a user SID. == CMD_HELP_DEACTIVATEUSER == Remarks: This command sets a user to inactive, disabling the usage of Unity VCS for that user. See the 'cm ^activateuser' command for more information about activating Unity VCS users. This command checks whether the user exists on the underlying authentication system (e.g. ActiveDirectory, LDAP, User/Password...). To force the deactivation of a user that no longer exists on the authentication system, you can use the '--^nosolveuser' option. Examples: cm ^deactivateuser john cm ^du peter "mary collins" cm ^deactivateuser john --^server=myserver:8084 cm ^deactivateuser S-1-5-21-3631250224-3045023395-1892523819-1107 --^nosolveuser == CMD_DESCRIPTION_DIFF == Shows differences between files, changesets, and labels. == CMD_USAGE_DIFF == Usage: cm ^diff <csetspec> | <lbspec> | <shspec> [<csetspec> | <lbspec> | <shspec>] [<path>] [--^added] [--^changed] [--^moved] [--^deleted] [--^repositorypaths] [--^download=<download_path>] [--^encoding=<name>] [--^comparisonmethod=(^ignoreeol | ^ignorewhitespaces | ^ignoreeolandwhitespaces | ^recognizeall)] [--^clean] [--^integration] [--^format=<str_format>] [--^dateformat=<str_format>] (Shows differences between a 'source' changeset or shelveset, and a 'destination' changeset or shelveset. The changesets can be specified using either a changeset or label specification. Where two specifications are given, the first will be the 'source' of the diff; the second, the 'destination'. If only one specification is given, the 'source' will be the parent changeset of the specified 'destination'. If an optional path is specified, the Diff window will launch to show differences between the two revisions of that file.) cm ^diff <revspec1> <revspec2> (Shows differences between a pair of revisions. The differences are shown in the Diff window. The first revision specified will appear on the left.) cm ^diff <brspec> [--^added] [--^changed] [--^moved] [--^deleted] [--^repositorypaths] [--^download=<download_path>] [--^encoding=<name>] [--^comparisonmethod=(^ignoreeol | ^ignorewhitespaces | ^ignoreeolandwhitespaces | ^recognizeall)] [--^clean] [--^integration] [--^format=<str_format>] [--^dateformat=<str_format>] [--^fullpaths | --^fp] (Shows the branch differences. Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about specs.) Options: --^added Prints only differences consisting of items added to the repository. --^changed Prints only differences consisting of items that changed. --^moved Prints only differences consisting of moved or renamed items. --^deleted Prints only differences consisting of items that were deleted. If '--^added', '--^changed', '--^moved' or '--^deleted' are not specified, then the command prints all differences. '^A' means added items. '^C' means changed items. '^D' means deleted items. '^M' means moved items. The left item is the original, the right is the destination. --^repositorypaths Prints repository paths instead of workspace paths. (This option overrides the '--^fullpaths' option.) --^download Stores the differences content in the specified output path. --^encoding Specifies the output encoding, i.e.: utf-8. See the MSDN documentation at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.text.encoding.aspx to get the table of supported encodings and its format, (at the end of the page, in the "Name" column). --^comparisonmethod Sets the specified comparison method. See Remarks for more info. --^clean Does not take into account the differences generated because of a merge, but only the differences created by simple checkins. --^integration Shows the branch changes that are pending to be merged into its parent branch. It takes into account any rebase or prior merge already done from/to its parent branch. --^format Retrieves the output message in a specific format. See Remarks for more info. --^dateformat Format used to output dates. --^fullpaths, --^fp Forces printing full workspace paths for files and directories when possible. == CMD_HELP_DIFF == Remarks: Comparison methods (--^comparisonmethod option): ^ignoreeol Ignores the end of line differences. ^ignorewhitespaces Ignores the whitespace differences. ^ignoreeolandwhitespaces Ignores the end of line and whitespace differences. ^recognizeall Detects the end of line and whitespace differences. This command accepts a format string to show the output. The parameters of this command are the following: {^path} Item path. {^date} Change date/time. {^owner} Change author. {^revid} Revision id of the revision considered as the destination in the diff. {^parentrevid} Revision id of the parent of the revision considered as the destination of the diff. {^baserevid} Revision id of the revision considered as the source in the diff. {^srccmpath} Server path before moving the item (move operation). {^dstcmpath} Server path after moving the item (move operation). {^type} Item type: ^D directory, ^B binary file, ^F text file, ^S symlink, ^X Xlink. {^repository} Repository of the item. {^status} Item status: ^A added, ^D deleted, ^M moved, ^C changed. {^fsprotection} Shows item permissions (Linux/Mac chmod). {^srcfsprotection} Shows parent revision item permissions. {^newline} Inserts a new line. Notes on '^revid': For added items, the '^baserevid' and '^parentrevid' will be -1, as no previous revision exists in this case. For deleted items, the '^revid' is the id of the source revision, and the '^baserevid' will be -1, as there is no destination revision. For Xlinks, both '^baserevid' and '^parentrevid' are always -1.

(Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about rev specs.) Options: --^format Retrieves the output message in a specific format. See Remarks for more info. --^encoding Specifies the output encoding, i.e.: utf-8. See the MSDN documentation at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.text.encoding.aspx to get the table of supported encodings and its format, (at the end of the page, in the "Name" column). --^comparisonmethod Sets the specified comparison method. See Remarks for more info. == CMD_HELP_DIFFMETRICS == Remarks: The metrics are: number of changed, added, and deleted lines. Output format parameters (--^format option): This command accepts a format string to show the output. The output parameters of this command are the following: {0} Number of changed lines. {1} Number of added lines. {2} Number of deleted lines. Comparison methods (--^comparisonmethod option): ^ignoreeol Ignores the end of line differences. ^ignorewhitespaces Ignores the whitespace differences. ^ignoreeolandwhitespaces Ignores the end of line and whitespace differences. ^recognizeall Detects the end of line and whitespace differences.

(Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about rep specs.) fast-export-file The file with the repository data in Git fast-export format. --^import-marks The marks file used for incremental imports. This file has been previously exported by '--^export-marks'. The changesets described in this file will not be imported because they were already in a previous import. --^export-marks The file where the imported changesets will be saved. This file is used in a later fast-import to signal the changesets that have been already imported. --^branchseparator Unity VCS uses "/" as default separator in the branch hierarchy. This option allows using char as a hierarchy separator, so main-task-sub would be mapped in Unity VCS as /main/task/sub. --^nodata Exports the repository without including the data. This is useful to check if the export will run correctly. --^from Exports from a particular changeset. --^to Exports to a particular changeset. == CMD_HELP_FASTEXPORT == Remarks: - To import a Unity VCS repository to Git, use a command such as: ^cat repo.fe.00 | ^git ^fast-import --^export-marks=marks.git --^import-marks=marks.git - Incremental export is supported using a marks file that contains the changesets previously imported ('--^import-marks' and '--^export-marks' files). This means that only the new changesets that were not exported in the previous fast-export will be exported. Examples: cm ^fast-export repo@localhost:8087 repo.fe.00 --^import-marks=marks.cm \ --^export-marks=marks.cm (Exports the repository 'repo' in the local server into the 'repo.fe.00' file in Git fast-export format and creates the marks files to perform incremental exports later.) cm ^fast-export repo@localhost:8087 repo.fe.00 --^from=20 (Exports the repository 'repo' in the local server into the 'repo.fe.00' file in Git fast-export format from changeset '20'.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_FASTIMPORT == Imports Git fast-export data into a repository. == CMD_USAGE_FASTIMPORT == Usage: cm ^fast-import | ^fi <repspec> <fast-export-file> [--^import-marks=<marks_file>] [--^export-marks=<marks_file>] [--^stats] [--^branchseparator=<chr_separator>] [--^nodata] [--^ignoremissingchangesets] [--^mastertomain] Options: repspec The repository into which the data will be imported. It is created if it did not previously exist. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about rep specs.) fast-export-file The file with the repository data in Git fast-export format. --^import-marks The marks file used for incremental imports. This file has been previously exported by '--^export-marks'. The changesets described in this file wont be imported because they were already in a previous import. --^export-marks The file where the imported changesets will be saved. This file is used in a later fast-import to signal the changesets that have been already imported. --^stats Prints some statistics about the import process. --^branchseparator Unity VCS uses "/" as default separator in the branch hierarchy. This option allows using char as a hierarchy separator, so main-task-sub would be mapped in Unity VCS as /main/task/sub. --^nodata Imports Git fast-export without including the data. This is useful to check if the import will run correctly. --^ignoremissingchangesets Any changesets that cannot be imported are discarded and the fast-import operation continues without them. --^mastertomain Imports using "^main" instead of "^master". == CMD_HELP_FASTIMPORT == Remarks: - To export a Git repository, use a command such as: ^git ^fast-export --^all -^M --^signed-tags=^strip --^tag-of-filtered-object=^drop> ..\git-fast-export.dat The -^M option is important to detect moved items. - The specified repository is created in case it did not exist. - Incremental import is supported using a marks file that contains the changesets previously imported ('--^import-marks' and '--^export-marks' files). This means that only the new changesets that were not imported in the previous fast-import will be imported. Examples: cm ^fast-import mynewrepo@atenea:8084 repo.fast-export (Imports the contents exported in the 'repo.fast-export' file into 'mynewrepo' repository on server 'atenea:8084'.) cm ^fast-import repo@atenea:8084 repo.fast-export --^export-marks=rep.marks (Imports the contents exported in the 'repo.fast-export' file into 'repo' repository on server 'atenea:8084' and creates a marks file to perform incremental imports later.) cm ^fast-import repo@server:8084 repo.fast-export --^import-marks=repo.marks \ --^export-marks=repo.marks (Imports the contents of the 'repo.fast-export' file. Only the new changesets that were not in the marks file are imported. The same marks file is used to save the list of changesets again for the next incremental import.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_FILEINFO == Retrieves detailed information about the items in the workspace. == CMD_USAGE_FILEINFO == Usage: cm ^fileinfo <item_path>[ ...] [--^fields=<field_value>[,...]] [[--^xml | -^x [=<output_file>]] | [--^format=<str_format>]] [--^symlink] [--^encoding=<name>] item_path Items to display. Use a whitespace to separate the items. Use double quotes (" ") to specify paths containing spaces. Options: --^fields A string of comma-separated values. This selects which fields will be printed for each item. See Remarks for more information. --^xml | -^x Prints the output in XML format to the standard output. It is possible to specify an output file. This option cannot be combined with '--^format'. --^format Retrieves the output message in a specific format. See Remarks for more info. This option cannot be combined with '--^xml'. This '--^format' option prevails over '--^fields' if both are specified. --^symlink Applies the fileinfo operation to the symlink and not to the target. --^encoding Specifies the output encoding, i.e.: utf-8. See the MSDN documentation at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.text.encoding.aspx to get the table of supported encodings and its format, (at the end of the page, in the "Name" column). == CMD_HELP_FILEINFO == Remarks: This command prints a detailed list of attributes for each selected item. Each attribute is printed on a new line by default. The attribute list can be modified to display only the attributes the user needs. This can be achieved using the '--^fields=<field_list>' which accepts a string of comma-separated attribute names. This way, only those arguments whose name has been indicated are shown. Revision head changeset: This option is disabled by default. Please note that retrieving this attribute is significantly slower than the rest of them, so we advise users to group together as many items as possible. This will improve execution times by avoiding many separate 'cm ^fileinfo' executions. Also, this feature is not currently available for controlled directories. You can find below the complete list of available attribute names. Names marked with an asterisk ('*') will not be shown by default: ^ClientPath The local path on disk for the item. ^RelativePath The workspace-relative path. ^ServerPath The repository path for the item.

Output format parameters (--^format option): This command accepts a format string to show the output. The output parameters of this command are the following: {^ClientPath} {^RelativePath} {^ServerPath} {^Size} {^Hash} {^Owner} {^RevisionHeadChangeset} {^RevisionChangeset} {^Status} {^Type} {^Changelist} {^IsLocked} {^LockedBy} {^LockedWhere} {^IsUnderXlink} {^UnderXlinkTarget} {^UnderXlinkPath} {^UnderXlinkWritable} {^UnderXlinkRelative} {^IsXlink} {^XlinkTarget} {^XlinkName} {^XlinkWritable} {^XlinkRelative} {^RepSpec} Please note that '--^format' and '--^xml' options are mutually exclusive, so they can't be used at the same time. Examples: cm ^fileinfo file1.txt file2.txt dir/ cm ^fileinfo "New Project.csproj" --^xml cm ^fileinfo assets.art --^fields=^ServerPath,^Size,^IsLocked,^LockedBy cm ^fileinfo proj_specs.docx --^fields=^ServerPath,^RevisionChangeset --^xml cm ^fileinfo samples.ogg --^format="{^ServerPath}[{^Owner}] -> {^Size}" == CMD_DESCRIPTION_FIND_QUERY == Runs SQL-like queries to find Unity VCS objects. == CMD_USAGE_FIND_QUERY == Usage: cm ^find <object_type> [^where <str_conditions>] [^on ^repository '<repspec>' | ^on ^repositories '<repspec1>','<repspec2>'[,...]] [^order ^by <sort_field> ['^asc' | '^desc']] [[^limit <maxresults>] [^offset <offset>]] [--^format=<str_format>] [--^dateformat=<date_format>] [--^nototal] [--^file=<dump_file>] [--^xml] [--^encoding=<name>] object_type Object type to find. Some of these objects are implementing the '^order ^by' clause. Use 'cm ^help ^showfindobjects' to learn how to specify these objects, the ones allowing '^order ^by' and by what fields. You can also read the 'cm ^find' guide: https://www.plasticscm.com/download/help/cmfind Options: str_conditions Searches conditions on an object attributes. repspec Searches repositories alias or specification. In the case of '^on ^repositories', use a comma to separate the repspec fields. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about repository specifications.) sort_field The name of the field to use as sorting field. Mind there is only a subset of field possibilities. Use 'cm ^help ^showfindobjects' to find what objects are allowed to be ordered and by what fields. maxresults The maximun number of results returned by the query. offset The number of rows to skip before starting to return results from the query. --^format Retrieves the output message in a specific format. Read the 'cm ^find' guide to see all the object attributes that can be used as output format strings: https://www.plasticscm.com/download/help/cmfind --^dateformat Format used to output dates. --^nototal Does not output record count at the end. --^file File to dump results. --^xml Prints the output in XML format to the standard output. --^encoding Specifies the output encoding, i.e.: utf-8. See the MSDN documentation at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.text.encoding.aspx to get the table of supported encodings and its format, (at the end of the page, in the "Name" column). == CMD_HELP_FIND_QUERY == Remarks: If no repository is specified, the search is made on the repository configured in the workspace. When you run queries using comparison operators (>, <, >=, <=) from the command line, remember that the shell considers these operators as IO redirections. So you will need to enclose the queries in double quotation marks. The 'cm ^find' command accepts a format string to show the output. Each output parameter is identified by a string and the user can refer it by typing the parameter number between '{' and '}' brackets. Output parameters usually correspond to the attributes of the object. These are some valid output format strings: --^format={^id}{^date}{^name} --^format="{^item}#{^branch} ^with ^date {^date}" XML and encoding considerations: When the '--^xml' option is specified, the command shows the command result as an XML text in the standard output. The operating system default encoding is used to show the text, so it is possible that not-ANSI characters are incorrectly visualized in the console. If you redirect the command output to a file, it will be correctly visualized. When both '--^xml' and '--^file' options are specified, the default encoding will be utf-8. Examples: cm ^find ^revision cm ^find ^revision "^where ^changeset=23 ^and ^owner='maria'" cm ^find ^branch "^on ^repository 'rep1'" cm ^find ^label "^on ^repositories 'rep1', '^rep:default@localhost:8084'" cm ^find ^branch "^where ^parent='^br:/main' ^on ^repository 'rep1'" cm ^find ^revision "^where ^item='^item:.'" --^format="{^item}#{^branch}" cm ^find ^revision "^where ^item='^item:.'" --^xml --^file=c:\queryresults\revs.xml cm ^find ^label "^where ^owner='^me' ^limit 10 ^offset 20" cm ^find ^branches "^where ^owner='^me' ^order ^by ^branchname ^desc ^limit 10" == CMD_DESCRIPTION_FINDCHANGED == Gets a list of changed files. This command is deprecated and kept just for backwards compatibility. Use 'cm ^status' instead. == CMD_USAGE_FINDCHANGED == Usage: cm ^findchanged | ^fc [-^R | -^r | --^recursive] [--^checkcontent] [--^onlychanged] [<path>] Options: -^R Recursively finds in directories. --^checkcontent Compares files by content. --^onlychanged Finds only changed files; checkouts will not be obtained. path (Default: current directory.) Initial path to find changed files. == CMD_HELP_FINDCHANGED == Remarks: If no '--^checkcontent' option is given, Unity VCS finds changes based on the file timestamp. When '--^checkcontent' option is specified, the file or folder contents are compared, instead of using the timestamp. This command is useful to detect changed files while disconnected from the Unity VCS server. The output can be piped to the ^checkout command, to check the changes later (see examples). Examples: cm ^findchanged . (Finds changed files in the current directory.) cm ^findchanged -^R . | cm ^checkout - (Checkouts changed elements.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_FINDCHECKEDOUT == Gets a list of checked out items. This command is deprecated and kept just for backwards compatibility. Use 'cm ^status' instead. == CMD_USAGE_FINDCHECKEDOUT == Usage: cm ^findcheckouts | ^fco [--^format=<str_format>] [--^basepath] Options: --^format Retrieves the output message in a specific format. See Remarks for more info. --^basepath The path to start searching checkouts from.

Initial path to find private files. == CMD_HELP_FINDPRIVATE == Remarks: If any path is specified, Unity VCS will begin searching from the current directory. This command is useful to add private items on a folder, piping the output to the '^add' command. See examples. Examples: cm ^findprivate . cm ^findprivate -^R | cm ^add - (Recursively searches private items and add them.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_GETCONFIG == Obtains configuration info. == CMD_USAGE_GETCONFIG == Usage: cm ^getconfig [^setfileasreadonly] [^location] [^extensionworkingmode] [^extensionprefix] [^defaultrepserver] ^setfileasreadonly Returns whether the protected files are left as read-only or not. ^location Returns the client config path. ^extensionworkingmode Returns the extension working mode. ^extensionprefix Returns the configured extension prefix. ^defaultrepserver Returns the location of the default repository server. == CMD_HELP_GETCONFIG == Examples: cm ^getconfig ^setfileasreadonly == CMD_DESCRIPTION_GETFILE == Downloads the content of a given revision. == CMD_USAGE_GETFILE == Usage: cm ^getfile | ^cat <revspec> [--^file=<output_file>] [--^debug] [--^symlink] [--^raw] revspec Object specification. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about specs.) Options: --^file File to save the output. By default, it is printed on the standard output. --^debug When a directory specification is used, the command shows all the items in the directory, its revision id and file system protection. --^symlink Applies the operation to the symlink and not to the target. --^raw Displays the raw data of the file. == CMD_HELP_GETFILE == Examples: cm ^cat myfile.txt#^br:/main (Obtains the last revision in branch '^br:/main' of 'myfile.txt'.) cm ^getfile myfile.txt#^cs:3 --^file=tmp.txt (Obtains the changeset 3 of 'myfile.txt' and write it to file 'tmp.txt'.) cm ^cat ^serverpath:/src/foo.c#^br:/main/task003@myrepo (Obtains the contents of '/src/foo.c' at the last changeset of branch '/main/task003' in repository 'myrepo'.) cm ^cat ^revid:1230@^rep:myrep@^repserver:myserver:8084 (Obtains the revision with id 1230.) cm ^getfile ^rev:info\ --^debug (Obtains all revisions in the 'info' directory.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_GETREVISION == Loads a revision in the workspace. == CMD_USAGE_GETREVISION == This command modifies the revision loaded in the workspace, so it can affect future merges.

Use double quotes (" ") to specify paths containing spaces. Use a whitespace to separate paths. Options: --^format Retrieves the output message in a specific format. See Remarks for more info. --^stats Prints some statistics about the get status process. -^R Shows recursively the status in directories. == CMD_HELP_GETSTATUS == Remarks: Output format parameters (--^format option): This command accepts a format string to show the output. The output parameters of this command are the following: {0} Item path. {1} Item status: 0 private, 1 checked in, 2 checked out. Reading input from stdin: The '^getstatus' command can read paths from stdin. To do this, pass a single dash "-". Example: cm ^getstatus - Paths will be read until an empty line is entered. This allows you to use pipe to specify which paths to get the status for. Example: dir /S /B *.c | cm ^getstatus --^format="Path {0} Status {1}" - (In Windows, gets the status of all .c files in the workspace.) Examples: cm ^getstatus file1.txt file2.txt (Gets the status of the files.) cm ^gs info\ -^R --^format="The item {0} has the status {1}" (Gets the status of the directory and all of its items and shows a formatted output.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_GETTASKBRANCHES == Gets branches linked with a task. == CMD_USAGE_GETTASKBRANCHES == This is an automation command, meant to be used to automate 'cm' only.

The output parameters of '--^itemformat' are the following: {^tab} Inserts a tab space. {^newline} Inserts a new line. {^path} Item path. {^branch} Branch where the changeset was created. {^date} Date of the changeset. {^owner} Owner of the changeset. {^shortstatus} Prints the short format for the status. See below. {^fullstatus} Prints the long format for the status. See below. Short format and its corresponding long format: '^A' ^Added '^D' ^Deleted '^M' ^Moved '^C' ^Changed These are valid output strings: --^csformat="{^newline}Changeset {^changesetid} created on {^date};{^tab} changed items: {^items}." --^itemformat="{^newline}The item {^path} was changed in the branch {^branch}." Examples: cm ^log (Shows information about every changeset created in the last month in every branch.) cm ^log ^cs:16 (Shows information about the changes done in the changeset 16 in the branch where the changeset was created.) cm ^log ^cs:16 --^csformat="{^newline}Changeset {^changesetid} created on \ {^date};{^tab} changed items: {^items}." (Shows the information in the specified format.) cm ^log --^from=^cs:20 ^cs:50 (Shows the information about every revision contained in every changeset from the changeset 21 to the changeset 50.) cm ^log --^from=^cs:20 ^cs:50 --^allbranches (Shows the information about every revision contained in every changeset from the changeset 21 to the changeset 50 in every branch of the repository.) cm ^log ^rep:myrep@localhost:8084 (Shows information about the changes done in the specified repository. No workspace is required to run the command.) cm ^log --^from=^cs:20@^rep:mainRep@localhost:8084 (Shows the information about every revision contained in every changeset from the changeset 21. No workspace is required to run the command, because the full changeset spec was specified.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_LS == Lists the contents of a tree. == CMD_USAGE_LS == Usage: cm ^ls | ^dir [<paths>[ ...]] [--^format=<str_format>] [--^symlink] [--^selector[=<selector_format>]] [--^tree=<obj_spec>] [-^R | -^r | --^recursive] [--^xml[=<output_file>]] [--^encoding=<name>] Options: paths List of paths to show. Use a whitespace to separate paths. Use double quotes (" ") to specify paths containing spaces. --^format Retrieves the output message in a specific format. See Remarks for more info. This option cannot be combined with '--^xml'. --^symlink Applies the operation to the symlink and not to the target. --^selector Gets the content from the active workspace selector. If selector_format is specified, then lists the specified selector. This is mostly deprecated since selectors are no longer a central part of Unity VCS since 4.x. --^tree Lists the tree in the specified changeset or branch. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about specs.) -^R Lists recursively. --^xml Prints the output in XML format to the standard output. It is possible to specify an output file. This option cannot be combined with '--^format'. --^encoding Used with the '--^xml' option, specifies the encoding to use in the XML output, i.e.: utf-8. See the MSDN documentation at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.text.encoding.aspx to get the table of supported encodings and its format, (at the end of the page, in the "Name" column). == CMD_HELP_LS == Remarks: - Path can be typed with meta-characters. - The list depends on the workspace selector. - The output of the command can be formatted specifying a format string. - If '--^tree' or '--^selector' options are specified, the given path must be a server path (a.k.a.: 'cm path'): /dir/file.txt, not a workspace path: C:\Users\myuser\mywk\dir\file.txt - If no path is provided, the workspace path assumed is the current directory. If '--^tree' or '--^selector' options are used, then the root path ("/") is assumed. The default format string is: "{^size,10} {^date:dd/MM/yyyy} {^date:HH:mm}\ {^type,-6} {^location,-12} {^checkout,-5} {^name}\ {^symlinktarget}" Output format parameters (--^format option): This command accepts a format string to show the output.

Note that the path is specified in server format.) cm ^ls /code --^tree=44@myrep@denver:7070 (Lists the '/code' subdirectory at changeset 44 at repo 'myrep' at server 'denver:7070'.) cm ^ls /code --^tree=^br:/main/scm13596@myrep@denver:7070 (Lists the '/code' subdirectory at the latest changeset in branch '/main/scm13596' at repo 'myrep' at server 'denver:7070'.) cm ^ls /code --^tree=ae1390ed-7ce9-4ec3-a155-e5a61de0dc77@myrep@denver:7070 (Lists the '/code' subdirectory at changeset ae1390ed-7ce9-4ec3-a155-e5a61de0dc77 at repo 'myrep' at server 'denver:7070'.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_TRIGGER_LIST == Lists the triggers of a given type on a server. == CMD_USAGE_TRIGGER_LIST == Usage: cm ^trigger | ^tr ^list | ^ls [<subtype-type>] [--^server=<repserverspec>] [--^format=<str_format>] Options: subtype-type Trigger execution and trigger operation. (Use 'cm ^showtriggertypes' to see a list of trigger types.) --^server Lists the triggers on the specified server. If no server is specified, executes the command on the one configured on the client. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about server specs.) --^format Retrieves the output message in a specific format. See Remarks for more info. == CMD_HELP_TRIGGER_LIST == Remarks: If the type is not specified, lists all the triggers on the server. Output format parameters (--^format option): This command accepts a format string to show the output. The output parameters of this command are the following: {0} Trigger position. {1} Trigger name. {2} Trigger path. {3} Trigger owner. {4} Trigger type. {5} Trigger filter. Examples: cm ^trigger list after-mklabel (Lists all triggers of type 'after-mklabel' on the server configured on the client.) cm ^tr ^ls ^before-mkbranch --^server=myserver:8084 (Lists all triggers of type 'before-mkbranch' on server 'myserver:8084'.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_MANIPULATESELECTOR == Changes the selector to a date. == CMD_USAGE_MANIPULATESELECTOR == This is an automation command, meant to be used to automate 'cm' only. It is not as user friendly as it should be. Usage: cm ^manipulateselector | ^ms [<wk_path> | <wk_spec>] --^atdate=<sel_date> wk_path Path of the workspace. wk_spec Workspace specification. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about specs.) Options: --^atdate Returns a selector that will recreate the workspace as it would have looked at the specified date. == CMD_HELP_MANIPULATESELECTOR == Remarks: If neither path nor workspace spec is specified, the command will take the current directory as workspace path. Examples: cm ^manipulateselector c:\workspace --^atdate=yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss cm ^manipulateselector --^atdate=yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss cm ^manipulateselector > mySelector.txt --^atdate=yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss cm ^manipulateselector ^wk:build_wk@BUILDER --^atdate=yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss == CMD_DESCRIPTION_MERGE == Merges a branch with another branch. == CMD_USAGE_MERGE == Usage: cm ^merge <source_spec> [--^merge] [--^cherrypicking] [--^forced] [--^mergetype=(^onlyone|^onlysrc|^onlydst|^try|^forced)] [--^interval-origin=<csetspec> | --^ancestor=<csetspec>] [--^keepsource | --^ks] [--^keepdestination | --^kd] [--^automaticresolution=<conflict-types>[;...]] [--^subtractive] [--^mount] [--^printcontributors] [--^noprintoperations] [--^silent] [(--^to=<brspec> | --^destination=<brspec>)[--^shelve]] [--^no-dst-changes] [-^c=<str_comment> | --^commentsfile=<comments_file>] [--^resolveconflict --^conflict=<index> --^resolutionoption=(^src|^dst|(^rename --^resolutioninfo=<strname>)) --^mergeresultfile=<path> --^solvedconflictsfile=<path>] [--^nointeractiveresolution] [--^machinereadable [--^startlineseparator=<sep>] [--^xml] [--^encoding] [--^endlineseparator=<sep>] [--^fieldseparator=<sep>]] source_spec Specification of the source object to merge from: - a branch specification: '[^br:/]br_name' - a label specification: '^lb:lb_name' - a changeset specification: '^cs:cs_number' - a shelve specification: '^sh:shelve_number' (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about specs.) Options: --^merge Performs the merge. Otherwise, prints the conflicts found. --^cherrypicking Merges the changes included on the source changesets. This option is not used if the merge source specification is a label. --^forced Does not check if the source and destination are already connected. This option is only available for interval merge and cherry picking. --^mergetype Type of the merge. See Remarks for more info. --^interval-origin Specifies which changeset is chosen as the interval origin, so the merge will only take the differences between the source changeset and the specified interval origin. --^ancestor This is an alias of '--^interval-origin'. --^keepsource Accepts all changes from source contributor for items with conflicts. --^keepdestination Preserves changes from destination contributor for items with conflicts. --^automaticresolution Used to resolve directory conflicts. This option lets you choose whether the source or the destination contributor should be automatically selected to resolve the conflict. Use a semicolon to separate conflict types. See Remarks for more info. --^subtractive Deletes changes introduced by a merge. The parameter passed to the command (source_spec) is used to specify which is the source to delete changes. It must be a changeset. In the case of a changeset interval, the '--^interval-origin' must be used to define the interval origin. To remove a change, the system creates a new checked out revision which will have the content of the previous one except for the deleted changes. --^mount The mount point for the given repository. --^printcontributors Prints the contributors (base, source, and destination). --^noprintoperations Silently resolves merges without showing information about the resolution. --^silent No output is shown unless an error happens. --^to | --^destination Performs a merge-to operation to the specified branch (by entering a branch spec or brspec) with full conflict resolution. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about branch specs.) A "merge-to" (or workspace-less merge) is a merge done in the server side. While normal merges happen on a workspace merging "from" a branch, label or changeset, a merge-to happens entirely on the server. While in normal merges the "destination" is the workspace, in "merge-to" a destination must be always specified (that's why we call it "to"). Check the following link for more information about the "merge to" feature: https://www.plasticscm.com/download/help/mergeto --^shelve Creates a shelve with the changes of the merge result (plus merge traceability info) instead of creating a new changeset. This option is not available when the merge source is a shelve. This option is only available for server-side-merge (a.k.a. "merge-to"). Hence, the '--^to' and '--^merge' options are required. --^no-dst-changes Ensures that the destination contributor doesn't have changes (the destination changeset is also the common ancestor). When there are changes on the destination, the merge is not allowed. -^c Applies the specified comment to the changeset created in the merge operation. --^commentsfile Applies the comment in the specified file to the changeset created in the merge operation. --^resolveconflict (Mainly used by plugins. See Remarks for more info.) Used to solve a directory conflict. --^conflict Used with the '--^resolveconflict' flag, specifies the index of the conflict to solve starting at 1. --^resolutionoption Used with the '--^resolveconflict' flag, indicates the type of the conflict resolution. Use one of the following options: '^src', '^dst', '^rename'. See Remarks for more info. --^resolutioninfo Used with the '--^resolveconflict' flag, provides the name to use when the '--^resolutionoption' option is 'rename'. --^mergeresultfile Used with the '--^resolveconflict' flag, outputs into a file the information of the merge result between different calls .The specified path will be created during the first call and updated on each next call. --^solvedconflictsfile Used with the '--^resolveconflict' flag, outputs into a file the information of the conflicts solved between different calls. The specified path will be created during the first call and updated on each next call. --^nointeractiveresolution (Mainly used by plugins. See Remarks for more info.) Avoids prompting the user for manual conflict. This way, a directory conflict won't be solved. --^machinereadable (Mainly used by plugins. See Remarks for more info.) Outputs the result in an easy-to-parse format. --^xml Prints the output in XML format to the standard output. It is possible to specify an output file. This option cannot be combined with '--^format' nor '--^resolveconflict'. --^encoding Used with the '--^xml' option, specifies the encoding to use in the XML output, i.e.: utf-8. See the MSDN documentation at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.text.encoding.aspx to get the table of supported encodings and its format, (at the end of the page, in the "Name" column). --^startlineseparator Used with the '--^machinereadable' flag, specifies how the lines should start. (Default: empty string.) --^endlineseparator Used with the '--^machinereadable' flag, specifies how the lines should end. (Default: empty string.) --^fieldseparator Used with the '--^machinereadable' flag, specifies how the fields should be separated. (Default: whitespace.) == CMD_HELP_MERGE == Remarks: This command is used to merge changes between two branches or between a label and a branch. The destination of the merge must be always a branch. The merge source is specified as an argument. Destination is the current content of the workspace. For example, to display the elements that will be merged from branch task001 to the main branch, the selector must point to the main branch, the workspace must be updated, and then: cm ^merge ^br:/task001 To really perform the merge, '--^merge' option is added: cm ^merge ^br:/task001 --^merge To define the merge source, the following specs can be used: - A branch specification (brspec): [^br:/]br_name Example: ^br:/main/task001 (Merges from the last changeset on this branch.) - A label specification (lbspec): ^lb:lb_name Example: ^lb:BL001 (Merges from the labeled changeset.) - A changeset specification (csetspec): ^cs:cs_number Example: ^cs:25 (Merges from the given changeset content.) - A shelve specification (shspec): ^sh:shelve_number Example: ^sh:2 (Merges from the given shelve content.) To automatically resolve directory conflicts, use '--^automaticresolution' option and specify the type of conflict followed by the contributor (source or destination) that must be selected during the merge operation. (Separate each "type of conflict"-"contributor" pair by a semicolon (;).) For example: cm ^merge ^cs:2634 --^merge --^automaticresolution=^eviltwin-src;^changedelete-src (The merge operation from changeset 2634 resolves the "^eviltwin" and "^changedelete" conflicts by keeping the source ("-^src") contributor in both cases.) - A "-^src" suffix after a conflict type tells the merge command to keep the source contributor changes. - A "-^dst" suffix will keep the destination contributor changes. This is the list of conflict types the merge command supports: "^movedeviltwin", "^eviltwin", "^changedelete", "^deletechange", "^movedelete", "^deletemove", "^loadedtwice", "^addmove", "^moveadd", "^divergentmove", "^cyclemove", "^all". The "^all" value overrides the other options. In the following example, "^eviltwin-dst" will be ignored: cm ^merge ^br:/main/task062 --^merge --^automaticresolution=^all-src;^eviltwin-dst Check the following link to learn more about merge conflicts: https://www.plasticscm.com/download/help/directorymerges These are the options for '--^mergetype': ^onlyone Automatic merge if only one contributor modified the item. ^onlysrc Automatic merge if only source contributor modified the item. ^onlydst Automatic merge if only destination contributor modified the item. ^try Automatic merge if only one contributor has modified the conflictive piece of code (each conflict). ^forced Always try to solve all non-automatic conflicts. These are the options that are mainly used by plugins and integrations: - '--^resolveconflict' to solve a directory conflict. You also have to use the following options: - '--^conflict' is the index of the conflict that you want to solve, starting at 1. - '--^resolutionoption' indicates the conflict resolution to use. This can be: - '^src' to keep the source change and discard the destination change - '^dst' to keep the destination change and discard the source change - '^rename' (only if the conflict type supports this resolution), to rename the destination to the given name provided with the '--^resolutioninfo' option. - '--^resolutioninfo' to provide the name to use on a '^rename' resolution - '--^mergeresultfile' and '--^solvedconflictsfile', both used to store the merge info between different calls. - '--^nointeractiveresolution' indicates the merge to not ask the user for manual conflict resolution. - '--^machinereadable' and '--^startlineseparator', '--^endlineseparator', '--^fieldseparator' options to print the output on a machine-readable way (easier-to-parse). Example: cm ^merge --^machinereadable --^startlineseparator=start@_@line \ --^endlineseparator=new@_@line --^fieldseparator=def#_#sep \ --^mergeresultfile=C:\Users\Borja\AppData\Local\Temp\2tmp4D6C.tmp \ --^solvedconflictsfile=C:\Users\Borja\AppData\Local\Temp\2tmp4D6D.tmp \ --^resolveconflict --^conflict=1 --^resolutionoption=rename \ --^resolutioninfo=bin_dst ^br:/main/task --^merge Set the PLASTICEDITOR environment variable to specify an editor for entering comments. If the PLASTICEDITOR environment variable is set, and the comment is empty, the editor will be automatically launched to allow you to specify the comment. Examples: cm ^merge ^br:/task001 (Does not merge, just prints items to be merged.) cm ^merge ^br:/task001 --^merge (Does merge from branch 'task001'.) cm ^merge ^cs:5 --^merge --^cherrypicking --^interval-origin=^cs:2 (Cherry pick from the changeset interval (2,5].) cm ^merge ^cs:8 --^merge --^subtractive --^keepdestination (Subtractive merge from changeset 8, keeping destination changes for those elements with conflicts.) cm ^merge ^br:/main/task001 --^to=^br:/main --^merge -^c="Integrated new UI" (Does server-side merge, a.k.a. merge-to, from branch 'task001' to branch 'main' and sets a comment.) cm ^merge ^br:/main/task001 --^to=^br:/main --^merge --^shelve (Does server-side merge from branch 'task001' to branch 'main' and leaves the result on a shelve.) cm ^merge ^sh:2 --^to=^br:/main --^merge --^no-dst-changes (Applies the shelve 2 into 'main' only if it was created from the current 'main' head') == CMD_DESCRIPTION_ATTRIBUTE_CREATE == Creates a new attribute. == CMD_USAGE_ATTRIBUTE_CREATE == Usage: cm ^attribute | ^att ^create | ^mk <att_name> att_name Attribute name == CMD_HELP_ATTRIBUTE_CREATE == Remarks: Set the PLASTICEDITOR environment variable to specify an editor for entering comments.

(Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about branch specs.) Options: --^changeset Changeset used as starting point for the new branch. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about cset specs.) --^label Label used as starting point for the new branch. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about label specs.) -^c Fills in the comment field of the new branch with the specified text. -^commentsfile Fills in the comment field of the new branch with the contents of the specified file. == CMD_HELP_BRANCH_CREATE == Remarks: To create a top-level branch, specify the name without any hierarchy. For example: cm ^br /dev If no optional parameter '--^changeset' is specified, the base of the new branch will be the last changeset on the parent branch. If the new branch is a top-level branch, the base changeset used will be cset 0. You can specify a comment using either the '-^c' or the '-^m' switches: cm ^branch /main/task001 -^c="This is the comment" cm ^branch /main/task001 -^m "This is the comment" Set the PLASTICEDITOR environment variable to specify an editor for entering comments.

Examples: cm ^branch ^showmerges file.txt (Displays branches involved in the pending merge of 'file.txt'.) cm ^branch ^showmerges file.txt --^format="{^date} {^name}" --^dateformat="ddMMyy" (Displays branches involved in the merge, printing only the date and the name, with a given date format.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_REPOSITORY == Allows the user to manage repositories. == CMD_USAGE_REPOSITORY == Usage: cm ^repository | ^repo <command> [options] Commands: ^create | ^mk ^delete | ^rm ^list | ^ls ^rename ^add To get more information about each command run: cm ^repository <command> --^usage cm ^repository <command> --^help == CMD_HELP_REPOSITORY == Examples: cm ^repository cm ^repository ^list cm ^repository newrepo cm ^repository ^create newrepo cm ^repository ^rename oldname newname cm ^repository ^add C:\repo\ == CMD_DESCRIPTION_REPOSITORY_CREATE == Creates a repository on a server. == CMD_USAGE_REPOSITORY_CREATE == Usage: cm ^repository | ^repo <rep_name> cm ^repository | ^repo <repserverspec> <rep_name>[ ...] cm ^repository | ^repo [^create | ^mk] <rep_name> repserverspec Repository server specification. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about rep server specs.) rep_name Name or names of the new repository or repositories. Use a whitespace to separate repository names. == CMD_HELP_REPOSITORY_CREATE == Examples: cm ^repository MyRep cm ^repo 192.168.1.140:8087 Rep01 Rep01/ModuleA Rep01/ModuleB cm ^repo ^create Rep01 cm ^repo ^mk list == CMD_DESCRIPTION_REPOSITORY_DELETE == Deletes a repository from a server. == CMD_USAGE_REPOSITORY_DELETE == Usage: cm ^repository | ^repo ^delete | ^rm <repspec> Options: repspec Repository specification. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about rep specs.) == CMD_HELP_REPOSITORY_DELETE == Remarks: Deletes a repository from the repository server. The data is not removed from the database backend, but unplugged so that it will not be accessible anymore. (Data can be reconnected afterwards, see 'cm ^repository ^add'.) Examples: cm ^repository ^delete myrepository@^repserver:myserver:8084 cm ^repository ^rm myrepository@myserver:8084 cm ^repo ^rm myrepository == CMD_DESCRIPTION_REPOSITORY_LIST == Lists the repositories on a server. == CMD_USAGE_REPOSITORY_LIST == Usage: cm ^repository | ^repo [^list | ^ls] [<repserverspec>] [--^format=<str_format>] Options: repserverspec Repository server specification. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about rep server specs.) --^format Retrieves the output message in a specific format. See Remarks for more info. == CMD_HELP_REPOSITORY_LIST == Remarks: Output format parameters (--^format option): This command accepts a format string to show the output. The output parameters of this command are the following: {^repid} | {0} Repository identifier. {^repname} | {1} Repository name. {^repserver} | {2} Server name. {^repowner} | {3} Repository owner. {^repguid} | {4} Unique identifier of the repository. {^tab} Inserts a tab space. {^newline} Inserts a new line. If the format parameter value is '^TABLE', the output will be printed using a table format with the {^repid}, {^repname} and {^repserver} fields. Examples: cm ^repository (Lists all repositories.) cm ^repository ^list localhost:8084 --^format="{1, -20} {3}" (Writes the repository name in 20 spaces, aligned to left, then a blank, and then the repository owner.) cm ^repository ^ls localhost:8084 --^format="{^repname, -20} {^repowner}" (Writes the same as the previous example.) cm ^repo ^ls localhost:8084 --^format=^TABLE (Writes the list of repositories using a table format with the following fields: repository id, repository name, and repository server name.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_REPOSITORY_RENAME == Renames a repository. == CMD_USAGE_REPOSITORY_RENAME == Usage: cm ^repository | ^repo ^rename [<repspec>] <new_name> repspec Repository to be renamed. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about repository specifications.) new_name New name for the repository. == CMD_HELP_REPOSITORY_RENAME == Remarks: This command renames a repository. If no repspec is specified, current repository will be assumed. Examples: cm ^repository ^rename development (The current repository will be renamed to 'development'.) cm ^repo ^rename ^rep:default@SERVER:8084 development (The 'default' repository on 'SERVER' will be renamed to 'development'.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_REPOSITORY_ADD == Connects an existing repository by adding its database. == CMD_USAGE_REPOSITORY_ADD == Usage: cm ^repository | ^repo ^add <db_file> <rep_name> <repserverspec> db_file The name of the database file on the database backend. rep_name The name of the repository. repserverspec The repository server specification. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about repository server specifications.) == CMD_HELP_REPOSITORY_ADD == Remarks: Reconnects an existing repository database to the server. This command is useful to move a repository from one server to another, or to restore an archived repository after using the 'cm ^repository ^delete' command. Examples: cm ^repository ^add rep_27 myrepository myserver:8084 == CMD_DESCRIPTION_TRIGGER_CREATE == Creates a new trigger on a server. == CMD_USAGE_TRIGGER_CREATE == Usage: cm ^trigger | ^tr ^create | ^mk <subtype-type> <new_name> <script_path> [--^position=<new_position>] [--^filter=<str_filter>] [--^server=<repserverspec>] subtype-type Trigger execution and trigger operation. (Use 'cm ^showtriggertypes' to see a list of trigger types.) new_name Name of the new trigger. script_path Disk path on the server where the script to execute is located. If the command line starts with "^webtrigger ", the trigger will be considered as a web trigger. See Remarks for more information. Options: --^position New position of the specified trigger. This position must not be in use by another trigger of the same type. --^filter Checks only items that matches the specified filter. --^server Creates the trigger on the specified server. If no server is specified, executes the command on the one configured on the client. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about repository server specifications.) == CMD_HELP_TRIGGER_CREATE == Remarks: Web triggers: A web trigger is created by typing "^webtrigger <target-uri>" as the trigger command. In this case, the trigger will execute a POST query against the specified URI -where the request body contains a JSON dictionary with the trigger environment variables- and a fixed INPUT key pointing to an array of strings. Examples: cm ^trigger ^create ^after-setselector "BackupMgr" "/path/to/script" --^position=4 cm ^tr ^mk ^before-mklabel new "/path/to/script" --^server=myserver:8084 cm ^tr ^mk ^after-mklabel Log "/path/to/script" --^filter="^rep:myRep,LB*" (This trigger will be executed only if the label name starts with 'LB' and it is being created in a repository called 'myRep'.) cm ^tr ^mk ^after-checkin NotifyTeam "^webtrigger http://myserver.org/api" == CMD_DESCRIPTION_MOVE == Moves or renames a file or directory. == CMD_USAGE_MOVE == Usage: cm ^move | ^mv <src_path> <dst_path> [--^format=<str_format>] [--^errorformat=<str_format>] src_path Source item path. dst_path Destination item path. Options: --^format Retrieves the output message in a specific format. See Remarks for more info. --^errorformat Retrieves the error message in a specific format. See Remarks for more info. == CMD_HELP_MOVE == Remarks: This command moves or renames an item in the repository. Changes are done in the local filesystem too. If the source path is a file, the destination path can be a file or a directory. In the first case, the file is renamed; otherwise, the item is moved. If source path is a directory, the destination path must be a directory. The item to move or rename must exist. Format: {0} Source path (both for '--^format' and '--^errorformat') {1} Destination path (both for '--^format' and '--^errorformat') Examples: cm ^move file.txt file.old (Renames the item.) cm ^mv .\file.old .\oldFiles (Moves 'file.old' to 'oldFiles'.) cm ^move .\src .\src2 (Renames a directory.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_LABEL == Allows the user to manage labels. == CMD_USAGE_LABEL == Usage: cm ^label | ^lb <command> [options] Commands: ^create | ^mk ^delete | ^rm ^rename To get more information about each command run: cm ^label <command> --^usage cm ^label <command> --^help == CMD_HELP_LABEL == Examples: cm ^label myNewLabel ^cs:42 ('^create' command is optional.) cm ^label ^rename myNewLabel newLabelName cm ^label ^delete newLabelName == CMD_DESCRIPTION_LABEL_CREATE == Applies a label to a changeset and creates the label if required. == CMD_USAGE_LABEL_CREATE == Usage: cm ^label [^create] <lbspec> [<csetspec> | <wk_path>] [--^allxlinkedrepositories] [-^c=<str_comment> | -^commentsfile=<comments_file>] lbspec The new label name. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about label specs.) csetspec Name or full specification of the changeset to label. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about changeset specs.) wk_path Path of the workspace to label. (The changeset that the workspace is pointing will be labeled.) Options: --^allxlinkedrepositories Creates the new label in all Xlinked repositories. -^c Applies the specified comment to the new label. -^commentsfile Applies the comment in the specified file to the new label. == CMD_HELP_LABEL_CREATE == Remarks: Set the PLASTICEDITOR environment variable to specify an editor for entering comments. If the PLASTICEDITOR environment variable is set, and the comment is empty, the editor will be automatically launched to allow you to specify the comment. Examples: cm ^label ^create ^lb:BL001 ^cs:1203 -^commentsfile=commentlb001.txt (Creates label 'BL001' attached to changeset 1203, and applies the comment in the 'commentlb001.txt' file.) cm ^label BL002 ^cs:1203 -^c="first release" (Creates label 'BL002', with a comment, and attached to changeset 1203.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_LABEL_DELETE == Deletes one or more labels. == CMD_USAGE_LABEL_DELETE == Usage: cm ^label ^delete <lbspec>[ ...] lbspec Label to delete. Use a whitespace to separate labels. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about label specs.) == CMD_HELP_LABEL_DELETE == Remarks: This command deletes one or more labels. Examples: cm ^label ^delete ^lb:BL001 (Deletes the label 'BL001'.) cm ^label ^delete ^lb:BL001 ^lb:BL002@reptest@server2:8084 (Deletes the labels 'BL001' and 'BL002'.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_LABEL_RENAME == Renames a label. == CMD_USAGE_LABEL_RENAME == Usage: cm ^label ^rename <lbspec> <new_name> lbspec Label to rename. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about label specs.) new_name New name for the label. == CMD_HELP_LABEL_RENAME == Remarks: This command renames a label. Examples: cm ^label ^rename ^lb:BL001 BL002 (Renames the label 'BL001' to 'BL002'.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_OBLITERATE == DEPRECATED == CMD_USAGE_OBLITERATE == DEPRECATED. == CMD_HELP_OBLITERATE == DEPRECATED. == CMD_DESCRIPTION_OBJECTSPEC == Describes how to write object specs. == CMD_USAGE_OBJECTSPEC == Usage: cm ^objectspec To get all the information about how to build object specs. == CMD_HELP_OBJECTSPEC == Several Unity VCS commands expect 'object specs' as input to refer to a given object (typically a branch, changeset, repository, etc). This documentation describes the different "specs" available and how to build them. Each spec type begins with a unique tag, for example "^rep:" or "^cs:". The tag must be specified for commands that take a general object spec, for example "cm ^setowner object_spec", but can often be omitted for commands that take only a single type of spec, for example, "cm ^getfile revision_spec". -- Repository server spec (repserverspec) -- ^repserver:name:port Examples: cm ^repo ^list ^repserver:skull:8084 cm ^repo ^list skull:8084 Side note: We call it 'repository server spec', instead of just 'server spec' for historical reasons. Long ago, we had separate workspace and repository servers, and the naming survived. -- Repository spec (repspec) -- ^rep:rep_name@[repserverspec] Examples: cm ^showowner ^rep:codice@localhost:6060 (Here the "^rep:" is required because ^showowner admits not only repos but also other types of objects. So it needs the user to indicate the object type.) -- Branch spec (brspec) -- ^br:[/]br_name[@repspec] Examples: cm ^switch ^br:/main@^rep:plastic@^repserver:skull:9095 (In this case "^br:", "^rep" and "^repserver" are not needed, so the command admits a much shorter form: "cm ^switch main@plastic@skull:9095".) cm ^find ^revisions "^where ^branch='^br:/main/task001'" Remark: The initial '/' on the branch is not mandatory. We used to specify all our branches as /main, /main/task001, and so on. But now, we prefer the shorter form main, main/task001 which makes commands more compact. -- Changeset spec (csetspec) -- ^cs:cs_number|cs_guid[@repspec] The number or GUID of the changeset can be specified. Examples: cm ^ls /code --^tree=ae1390ed-7ce9-4ec3-a155-e5a61de0dc77@code@skull:7070 -- Label spec (labelspec) -- ^lb:lb_name[@repspec] Examples: cm ^switch ^lb:RELEASE2.0 cm ^switch ^lb:RELEASE1.4@myrep@MYSERVER:8084 -- Revision spec -- There are different types of rev specs: ^rev:item_path[#(brspec|csetspec|labelspec)] ^rev:^serverpath:item_path#(brspec|cset_spec|lb_spec) ^rev:^revid:rev_id[@rep_spec] ^rev:^itemid:item_id#(br_spec|cset_spec|lb_spec) Examples: cm ^diff ^rev:readme.txt#^cs:19 ^rev:readme.txt#^cs:20 cm ^diff ^serverpath:/doc/readme.txt#^cs:19@myrepo \ ^serverpath:/doc/readme.txt#^br:/main@myrepo@localhost:8084 cm ^cat ^revid:1230@^rep:myrep@^repserver:myserver:8084 -- Item spec -- ^item:path Rarely used. Example: cm ^find ^revision "^where ^item='^item:.'" -- Attribute spec -- ^att:att_name[@repspec] Example: cm ^attribute ^set ^att:merged@code@doe:8084 ^cs:25@code@doe:8084 done -- Shelve spec -- ^sh:sh_number[@repspec] Example: cm ^diff ^sh:2 ^sh:4 -- Workspace specs -- ^wk:name@clientmachine Rarely used, since they only apply to workspace related commands. Useful to specify the workspace by name and machine instead of path. Examples: cm ^showselector ^wk:codebase@modok Side note: These specs come from the old days of Plastic SCM 2.x where 'workspace servers' existed as a way to store workspace metadata in a centralized way. Were deprecated due to performance issues. == CMD_DESCRIPTION_PARTIAL == Runs commands in a partial workspace. == CMD_USAGE_PARTIAL == Usage: cm ^partial <command> [options] Commands: ^configure ^add ^undo ^co | ^checkout ^unco | ^undocheckout ^ci | ^checkin ^mv | ^move ^rm | ^remove ^stb | ^switch ^upd | ^update ^shelve | ^shelveset To get more information about each command run: cm ^partial <command> --^usage cm ^partial <command> --^help == CMD_HELP_PARTIAL == Examples: cm ^partial ^configure +/background-blue.png cm ^partial ^update landscape-1024.png cm ^partial ^checkin eyes-green.png eyes-black.png == CMD_DESCRIPTION_PARTIAL_ADD == Adds an item to version control. == CMD_USAGE_PARTIAL_ADD == Usage: cm ^partial ^add [-^R | -^r | --^recursive] [--^silent] [--^parents] [--^ignorefailed] [--^skipcontentcheck] <item_path>[ ...] [--^format=<str-format>] [--^errorformat=<str-format>] item_path Items to add. Use double quotes (" ") to specify paths containing spaces. Use a whitespace to separate paths. Use * to add all the contents of the current directory. Options: -^R Adds items recursively. --^silent Does not show any output. --^parents Includes the parent directories of the items specified in the operation. --^ignorefailed If an item cannot be added, the add operation will continue without it. Note: If a directory cannot be added, its content is not added. --^skipcontentcheck When the extension is not enough to set the file as text or binary, it will be set as binary by default instead of checking the content to detect the type. --^format Retrieves the output message in a specific format. Check the examples for more information. --^errorformat Retrieves the error message (if any) in a specific format. Check the examples for more information. == CMD_HELP_PARTIAL_ADD == Remarks: Requirements to add items: - The parent directory of the item to add must be previously added. Examples: cm ^partial ^add pic1.png pic2.png (Adds 'pic1.png' and 'pic2.png' items.) cm ^partial ^add c:\workspace\picture.png (Adds 'picture.png' item in path 'c:\workspace'.) cm ^partial ^add -^R c:\workspace\src (Recursively adds 'src'.) cm ^partial ^add --^parents samples\design01.png (Adds 'design01.png' file and 'samples' parent folder.) cm ^partial ^add -^R * (Recursively adds all the contents of the current directory.) cm ^partial ^add -^R * --^format="ADD {0}" --^errorformat="ERR {0}" (Recursively adds all the contents of the current directory, printing '^ADD <item>' for successfully added files, and '^ERR <item>' for items that could not be added.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_PARTIAL_CHECKIN == Stores changes in the repository. == CMD_USAGE_PARTIAL_CHECKIN == Usage: cm ^partial ^checkin | ^ci [<item_path>[ ...]] [-^c=<str_comment> | -^commentsfile=<comments_file>] [--^all | -^a] [--^applychanged] [--^keeplock] [--^symlink] [--^ignorefailed] [--^machinereadable [--^startlineseparator=<sep>] [--^endlineseparator=<sep>] [--^fieldseparator=<sep>]] Options: item_path Items to checkin. Use double quotes (" ") to specify paths containing spaces. Use a whitespace to separate paths. Use . to apply checkin to current directory. -^c Specifies a comment to the changeset created in the checkin operation. -^commentsfile Applies the comment from the specified file to the changeset created in the checkin operation. --^all | -^a Includes also the items changed, moved, and deleted locally on the specified paths. --^applychanged Applies the checkin operation to the changed items detected in the workspace along with the checked out items. --^private Private items detected in the workspace are also included. --^keeplock Keeps the lock of the locked items after the checkin operation. --^symlink Applies the checkin operation to the symlink and not to the target. --^ignorefailed Any changes that cannot be applied (because the lock - a.k.a. exclusive checkout - cannot be adquired or because local changes are in conflict with the server changes) are discarded and the checkin operation continues without them. --^machinereadable Outputs the result in an easy-to-parse format. --^startlineseparator Used with the '--^machinereadable' flag, specifies how the lines should start. --^endlineseparator Used with the '--^machinereadable' flag, specifies how the lines should end. --^fieldseparator Used with the '--^machinereadable' flag, specifies how the fields should be separated. == CMD_HELP_PARTIAL_CHECKIN == Remarks: - If <item_path> is not specified, the checkin will involve all the pending changes in the workspace. - The checkin operation always applies recursively from the given path. - To checkin an item: - The item must be under source code control. - The item must be checked out. - If the item is changed but not checked out, the '--^applychanged' flag is not necessary unless <item_path> is a directory or it contains wildcards ('*'). Revision content should be different from previous revision in order to be checked in. Set the PLASTICEDITOR environment variable to specify an editor for entering comments. If the PLASTICEDITOR environment variable is set, and the comment is empty, the editor will be automatically launched to allow you to specify the comment. Reading input from stdin: The '^partial ^checkin' command can read paths from stdin. To do this, pass a single dash "-". Example: cm ^partial ^checkin - Paths will be read until an empty line is entered. This allows you to use pipe to specify which files to checkin. Example: dir /S /B *.c | cm ^partial ^checkin --^all - (In Windows, checkins all .c files in the workspace.) Examples: cm ^partial ^checkin figure.png landscape.png (Applies the checkin to 'figure.png' and 'landscape.png' checked-out files.) cm ^partial ^checkin . -^commentsfile=mycomment.txt (Applies checkin to current directory and sets the comment from the 'mycomment.txt' file.) cm ^partial ^ci background.png -^c="my comment" --^keeplock (Applies the checkin to 'background.png', includes a comment, and keeps the lock.) cm ^partial ^checkin --^applychanged (Applies the checkin to all pending changes in the workspace.) cm ^partial ^checkin link --^symlink (Applies the checkin to the symlink file and not to the target.) cm ^partial ^checkin . --^ignorefailed (Applies checkin to current directory, ignoring the changes that cannot be applied.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_PARTIAL_CHECKOUT == Marks files as ready to modify. == CMD_USAGE_PARTIAL_CHECKOUT == Usage: cm ^partial ^checkout | ^co [<item_path>[ ...]] [--^resultformat=<str_format>] [--^silent] [--^ignorefailed] Options: item_path Items to checkout. Use double quotes (" ") to specify paths containing spaces. Use a whitespace to separate paths. Use . to apply checkout to current directory. --^resultformat Retrieves the output result message in a specific format. --^silent Does not show any output. --^ignorefailed If an item cannot be locked (the exclusive checkout cannot be performed), the checkout operation will continue without it. == CMD_HELP_PARTIAL_CHECKOUT == Remarks: To checkout an item: - The item must be under source code control. - The item must be checked in. If locks are configured on the server (lock.conf exists), then each time a checkout on a path happens, Unity VCS checks if it meets any of the rules and if so, the path will be in exclusive checkout (locked) so that none can simultaneously checkout. You can get all the locks in the server by using 'cm ^lock ^list'. Check the Administrator Guide to learn how locking works: https://www.plasticscm.com/download/help/locking Examples: cm ^partial ^checkout pic1.png pic2.png (Checkouts 'pic1.png' and 'pic2.png' files.) cm ^partial ^co *.png (Checkouts all png files.) cm ^partial ^checkout . (Checkouts current directory.) cm ^partial ^checkout -^R c:\workspace\src (Recursively checkouts 'src' folder.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_PARTIAL_CONFIGURE == Allows you to configure your workspace by loading or unloading items from it. == CMD_USAGE_PARTIAL_CONFIGURE == Usage: cm ^partial ^configure <+|-path>[ ...] [--^silent] [--^ignorefailed] [--^ignorecase] [--^restorefulldirs] [--^machinereadable [--^startlineseparator=<sep>] [--^endlineseparator=<sep>] [--^fieldseparator=<sep>]] path Paths to be loaded or unloaded. Use double quotes (" ") to specify paths containing spaces. Use a whitespace to separate paths. Paths have to start with "/". Options: --^silent Does not show any output. --^ignorefailed Skips all errors during the process. Incorrect paths will not cause the command to stop. --^ignorecase Ignores casing on the paths. With this flag, '^configure' will work for "/Data/Textures" even if the user writes "/data/teXtures". --^restorefulldirs Resets an invalid directory configuration (happens when a non-partial operation is run on a partial workspace). The directories in this list will be fully configured (full check) which means they will automatically download new content during the update. This operation does not download any files, just restores the directory configuration on partial workspaces. --^machinereadable Outputs the result in an easy-to-parse format. --^startlineseparator Used with the '--^machinereadable' flag, specifies how the lines should start. --^endlineseparator Used with the '--^machinereadable' flag, specifies how the lines should end. --^fieldseparator Used with the '--^machinereadable' flag, specifies how the fields should be separated. == CMD_HELP_PARTIAL_CONFIGURE == Remarks: The command assumes recursive operation. Examples: cm ^partial ^configure +/landscape_grey.png (Loads 'landscape_grey.png' item.) cm ^partial ^configure -/landscape_black.png (Unloads 'landscape_black.png' item.) cm ^partial ^configure +/soft -/soft/soft-black.png (Loads all 'soft' directory children items except 'soft-black.png'.) cm ^partial ^configure -/ (Unloads the whole workspace.) cm ^partial ^configure -/ +/ (Loads the whole workspace.) cm ^partial ^configure -/figure-64.png --^ignorefailed (Unloads 'figure-64.png' item even if it was already unloaded.) cm ^partial ^configure +/ --^restorefulldirs (Sets all directories to automatically download the new content.) cm ^partial ^configure +/src/lib --^restorefulldirs (Sets only '/src/lib' and its subdirectories to automatically download the new content.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_PARTIAL_MOVE == Moves or renames a file or directory. == CMD_USAGE_PARTIAL_MOVE == Usage: cm ^partial ^move | ^mv <src_path> <dst_path> [--^format=<str_format>] src_path Source item path. dst_path Destination item path. Options: --^format Retrieves the output message in a specific format. See Remarks for more info. == CMD_HELP_PARTIAL_MOVE == Remarks: This command moves or renames an item in the repository. Changes are done in the local filesystem too. If the source path is a file, the destination path can be a file or a directory. In the first case, the file will be renamed; otherwise, the item will be moved. If source path is a directory, the destination path must be a directory. The item to move or rename must exist. Format: {0} Source path. {1} Destination path. Examples: cm ^partial ^move file.png file-blue.png (Renames the item.) cm ^partial ^mv .\file-blue.png .\blueFiles (Moves 'file-blue.png' to 'blueFiles'.) cm ^partial ^move .\design .\marketing (Renames a directory.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_PARTIAL_RM == Deletes a file or directory from version control. == CMD_USAGE_PARTIAL_RM == Usage: cm ^partial ^remove | ^rm <item_path>[ ...] [--^nodisk] item_path Items path to remove. Use double quotes (" ") to specify paths containing spaces. Use a whitespace to separate paths. Options: --^nodisk Removes from version control, but keeps the item on disk. == CMD_HELP_PARTIAL_RM == Remarks: Items are deleted from disk. Removed items are removed from the parent directory in the source code control. Requirements: - The item must be under source code control. Examples: cm ^partial ^remove src (Removes 'src'. If 'src' is a directory, this is the same that: cm ^partial ^remove -^R src.) cm ^partial ^remove c:\workspace\pic01.png --^nodisk (Removes 'pic01.png' from version control, but keeps it on disk.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_PARTIAL_SHELVESET == Allows the user to manage partial shelvesets. == CMD_USAGE_PARTIAL_SHELVESET == Usage: cm ^partial ^shelveset | ^shelve <command> [options] Commands: ^create | ^mk ^apply ^delete | ^rm To get more information about each command run: cm ^partial ^shelveset <command> --^usage cm ^partial ^shelveset <command> --^help == CMD_HELP_PARTIAL_SHELVESET == Examples: cm ^partial ^shelveset ^create -^c="my comment" cm ^partial ^shelveset ^apply sh:3 cm ^partial ^shelveset ^delete sh:5 == CMD_DESCRIPTION_PARTIAL_SHELVESET_CREATE == Shelves chosen pending changes. == CMD_USAGE_PARTIAL_SHELVESET_CREATE == Usage: cm ^partial ^shelveset | ^shelve ^create | ^mk [<item_path>[ ...]] [-^c=<str_comment> | -^commentsfile=<comments_file>] [--^applychanged] [--^symlink] [--^ignorefailed] [--^machinereadable [--^startlineseparator=<sep>] [--^endlineseparator=<sep>] [--^fieldseparator=<sep>]] Options: item_path Items to shelve. Use double quotes (" ") to specify paths containing spaces. Use a whitespace to separate paths. Use . to apply shelve to current directory. -^c Specifies a comment to the changeset created in the shelve operation. -^commentsfile Applies the comment from the specified file to the changeset created in the shelve operation. --^applychanged Applies the shelve operation to the changed items detected in the workspace along with the checked out items. --^symlink Applies the shelve operation to the symlink and not to the target. --^ignorefailed Any changes that cannot be applied (because the lock - a.k.a. exclusive checkout - cannot be adquired or because local changes are in conflict with the server changes) are discarded and the shelve operation continues without them. --^machinereadable Outputs the result in an easy-to-parse format. --^startlineseparator Used with the '--^machinereadable' flag, specifies how the lines should start. --^endlineseparator Used with the '--^machinereadable' flag, specifies how the lines should end. --^fieldseparator Used with the '--^machinereadable' flag, specifies how the fields should be separated. == CMD_HELP_PARTIAL_SHELVESET_CREATE == The '^partial ^shelveset ^create' command stores the contents of checked out items inside the repository. This way the contents are protected without the need to checkin the files. Remarks: If neither <item_path> nor any option is specified, the shelveset will include all the pending changes in the workspace. The '^partial ^shelveset ^create' operation is always applied recursively from the given path. The '^partial ^shelveset ^create' operation is the default, which means that, if no other operation is defined, the command will try to perform a creation. Requirements to shelve an item: - The item must be under source code control. - The item must be checked out or changed. Set the PLASTICEDITOR environment variable to specify an editor for entering comments. If the PLASTICEDITOR environment variable is set, and the comment is empty, the editor will be automatically launched to allow you to specify the comment. Examples: cm ^partial ^shelveset figure.png landscape.png (Creates a new shelveset with 'figure.png' and 'landscape.png' checked-out files.) cm ^partial ^shelveset . -^commentsfile=mycomment.txt (Creates a new shelveset with every checked-out file in current directory and sets the comment from the 'mycomment.txt' file.) cm ^partial ^shelve background.png -^c="my comment" (Creates a new shelveset with 'background.png', includes a comment.) cm ^partial ^shelveset --^applychanged (Creates a new shelveset all pending changes in the workspace.) cm ^partial ^shelveset link --^symlink (Creates a new shelveset with the symlink file and not the target.) cm ^partial ^shelveset . --^ignorefailed (Creates a new shelveset with every checked-out file in current directory, ignoring (skipping) the changes that cannot be applied.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_PARTIAL_SHELVESET_APPLY == Applies a stored shelveset. == CMD_USAGE_PARTIAL_SHELVESET_APPLY == Usage: cm ^partial ^shelveset ^apply <sh_spec> [--^encoding=<name>] [--^comparisonmethod=(^ignoreeol | ^ignorewhitespaces| \ ^ignoreeolandwhitespaces | ^recognizeall)] sh_spec Shelveset specification. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about shelveset specs.) Options: --^encoding Specifies the output encoding, i.e.: utf-8. See the MSDN documentation at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.text.encoding.aspx to get the table of supported encodings and its format, (at the end of the page, in the "Name" column). --^comparisonmethod Sets the comparison method. See Remarks for more info. == CMD_HELP_PARTIAL_SHELVESET_APPLY == The '^partial ^shelveset ^apply' command restores the contents of a stored shelveset. Remarks: Comparison methods: ^ignoreeol Ignores end of line differences. ^ignorewhitespaces Ignores whitespace differences. ^ignoreeolandwhitespaces Ignores end of line and whitespace differences. ^recognizeall Detects end of line and whitespace differences. Examples: cm ^partial ^shelveset ^apply ^sh:3 (Applies a stored shelve.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_PARTIAL_SHELVESET_DELETE == Deletes a shelveset. == CMD_USAGE_PARTIAL_SHELVESET_DELETE == Usage: cm ^partial ^shelveset ^delete | ^rm <sh_spec> sh_spec Shelveset specification. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about shelveset specs.) == CMD_HELP_PARTIAL_SHELVESET_DELETE == The '^partial ^shelveset ^delete' command deletes a shelveset. Examples: cm ^partial ^shelveset ^delete ^sh:3 (Removes a stored shelveset.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_PARTIAL_SWITCH == Sets a branch as the working branch. == CMD_USAGE_PARTIAL_SWITCH == Usage: cm ^switch <branch_spec> [--^report | --^silent] [--^workspace=<path>] [--^noinput] (Sets the working branch and updates the workspace.) cm ^switch <branch_spec> --^configure <+|-path>[ ...] [--^silent] [--^ignorefailed] [--^ignorecase] [--^workspace=<path>] (Sets the working branch and runs a workspace configuration like the 'cm ^partial ^configure' command does.) branch_spec Branch specification. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about branch specs.) path Paths to be loaded or unloaded. Use double quotes (" ") to specify paths containing spaces. Use a whitespace to separate paths. Paths must start with "/". Options: --^silent Does not show any output. --^report Prints a list of the applied changes when the command is finished. Using '--^silent' will override this setting. This option only works when the '--^configure' option is not specified. --^configure Configures (loads / unloads items) the workspace after updating the working branch. Check 'cm ^partial ^configure --^help' to learn how to specify the paths to configure. --^ignorefailed Skips all errors during the configuration process. Incorrect paths will not cause the command to stop. --^ignorecase Ignores casing on the paths. With this flag, option '--^configure' works for "/Data/Textures" even if the user writes "/data/teXtures". --^noinput Skips the interactive question to continue the operation shelving the pending changes. --^workspace=path Path where the workspace is located. == CMD_HELP_PARTIAL_SWITCH == Remarks: This command allows users to update the working branch. After updating the branch, the command updates the workspace to the new branch as the 'cm ^partial ^update' command would do. However, if the '--^configure' option is specified, the command allows to configure the workspace using the new branch configuration as the 'cm ^partial ^configure' command would do. Examples: cm ^switch ^br:/main/task (Sets /main/task as working branch and updates the workspace.) cm ^switch ^br:/main/task --^configure +/art/images (Sets /main/task as working branch and configures the workspace to load the /art/images folder.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_PARTIAL_UNCO == Undoes the checkout on an item. == CMD_USAGE_PARTIAL_UNCO == Usage: cm ^partial ^undocheckout | ^unco <item_path>[ ...] [--^silent] [--^keepchanges | -^k] item_path Items to apply the operation. Use double quotes (" ") to specify paths containing spaces. Use a whitespace to separate paths. Use . to apply the operation to current directory. Options: --^silent Does not show any output. --^keepchanges (-^k) Undoes the checkout and preserves the local changes. Sample: undo the checkout of a file leave it as locally changed with the same content on disk that it was. This option cannot be used with dynamic workspaces. == CMD_HELP_PARTIAL_UNCO == Remarks: If an item is checked-out and you do not want to checkin it, you can undo the checkout using this command. Both files and folders can be unchecked out. The item will be updated to the state it had before checking it out. Requirements: - The item must be under source code control. - The item must be checked out. Examples: cm ^partial ^undocheckout . (Undoes checkouts in the current directory.) cm ^partial ^undocheckout pic1.png pic2.png cm ^unco c:\workspace\design01.png (Undoes checkouts of the selected files.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_PARTIAL_UNDO == Undoes changes in a workspace. == CMD_USAGE_PARTIAL_UNDO == Usage: cm ^partial ^undo [<path>[ ...]] [--^symlink] [-^r | --^recursive] [<filter>[ ...]] [--^silent | --^machinereadable [--^startlineseparator=<sep>] [--^endlineseparator=<sep>] [--^fieldseparator=<sep>]] path Path of the files or directories to apply the operation to. Use double quotes (" ") to specify paths containing spaces. Use a whitespace to separate paths. If no path is specified, by default the undo operation will take all of the files in the current directory. filter Applies the specified filter or filters to the given paths. Use a whitespace to separate filters. See the Filters section for more information. Options: --^symlink Applies the undo operation to the symlink and not to the target. -^r Executes the undo recursively. --^silent Does not show any output. --^machinereadable Outputs the result in an easy-to-parse format. --^startlineseparator Used with the '--^machinereadable' flag, specifies how the lines should start. --^endlineseparator Used with the '--^machinereadable' flag, specifies how the lines should end. --^fieldseparator Used with the '--^machinereadable' flag, specifies how the fields should be separated. Filters: If no flag is specified, by default, all changes are undone, but the paths can be filtered using one or more of the flags below. If a file or directory matches one or more of the specified kinds of change, all of the changes on said file or directory will be undone. For example, if you specify both '--^checkedout' and '--^moved', if a file is both checkedout and moved, both changes will be undone. --^checkedout Select checked-out files and directories. --^unchanged Select files whose content is unchanged. --^changed Select locally changed or checked-out files and directories. --^deleted Select deleted files and directories. --^moved Select moved files and directories. --^added Select added files and directories. == CMD_HELP_PARTIAL_UNDO == Remarks: The ^undo command is dangerous - it undoes work in an irreversible way. Once the ^undo has finished, it is not possible to recover the previous state of the files and directories affected by it. If no path is specified in the arguments, by default it will undo every change in the current directory, but not recursively. These are equivalent when executed from the /src directory: /src |- file.txt |- code.cs \- /test |- test_a.py \- test_b.py cm ^partial ^undo cm ^partial ^undo * cm ^partial ^undo file.txt code.cs /test cm ^partial ^undo . cm ^partial ^undo /src file.txt code.cs If you want the operation to be recursive, you must specify the '-^r' flag. To undo all of the changes below a directory (including changes affecting the directory itself): cm ^partial ^undo dirpath -^r If dirpath is a workspace path, every change in the workspace will be undone. Examples: cm ^partial ^undo . -^r (Undoes all changes in the current directory recursively. If executed from the workspace's root, undoes all changes in the entire workspace.) cm ^partial ^co file.txt cm ^partial ^undo file.txt (Undoes the checkout on file.txt.) ^echo ^content >> file.txt cm ^partial ^undo file.txt (Undoes the local change to file.txt.) cm ^partial ^undo src (Undoes changes to the src directory and its files.) cm ^partial ^undo src/* (Undo changes in every file and directory contained in src, without affecting src.) cm ^partial ^undo *.cs (Undo changes to every file or directory that matches *.cs in the current directory.) cm ^partial ^undo *.cs -^r (Undoes changes on every file or directory that matches *.cs in the current directory and every directory below it.) cm ^partial ^co file1.txt file2.txt ^echo ^content >> file1.txt cm ^partial ^undo --^unchanged (Undoes the checkout of unchanged file2.txt, ignoring locally changed file1.txt.) ^echo ^content >> file1.txt ^echo ^content >> file2.txt cm ^partial ^co file1.txt cm ^partial ^undo --^checkedout (Undoes the changes in checked-out file file1.txt, ignoring file2.txt as it is not checked-out.) cm ^partial ^add file.txt cm ^partial ^undo file.txt (Undoes the add of file.txt, making it once again a private file.) ^rm file1.txt ^echo ^content >> file2.txt cm ^partial ^add file3.txt cm ^partial ^undo --^deleted --^added * (Undoes the file1.txt delete and file3.txt add, ignoring the file2.txt change.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_PARTIAL_UPDATE == Updates the partial workspace and downloads latest changes. == CMD_USAGE_PARTIAL_UPDATE == Usage: cm ^partial ^update [<item_path>[ ...]] [--^changeset=<number>] [--^silent | --^report] [--^dontmerge] [--^xml[=<output_file>]] [--^machinereadable [--^startlineseparator=<sep>] [--^endlineseparator=<sep>] [--^fieldseparator=<sep>]] item_path Items to be updated. Use double quotes (" ") to specify paths containing spaces. Use a whitespace to separate paths. Use . to apply update to current directory. If no path is specified, then the current partial workspace is fully updated. Options: --^changeset Updates the partial workspace to a specific changeset. --^silent No output is shown unless an error happens. --^xml Prints the output in XML format to the standard output. It is possible to specify an output file. --^report Prints a list of the applied changes when the command is finished. Using '--^silent' will override this setting. --^dontmerge Does not merge the file conflicts, it just skips them. The other changes are properly applied. This option can be useful for automation to avoid user interaction. --^machinereadable Outputs the result in an easy-to-parse format. --^startlineseparator Used with the '--^machinereadable' flag, specifies how the lines should start. --^endlineseparator Used with the '--^machinereadable' flag, specifies how the lines should end. --^fieldseparator Used with the '--^machinereadable' flag, specifies how the fields should be separated. == CMD_HELP_PARTIAL_UPDATE == Remarks: The '^partial ^update' command updates the out-of-date files. The command assumes recursive operation. If all the specified paths are files inside the same Xlink when using the '--^changeset' option, then the versions to download are searched in the specified changeset of the Xlinked repository. Examples: cm ^partial ^update (Updates all in the current partial workspace.) cm ^partial ^update . (Updates all current directory children items.) cm ^partial ^update backgroud-blue.png (Updates 'backgroud-blue.png' item.) cm ^partial ^update soft_black.png soft-grey.png (Updates 'soft_black.png' and 'soft-grey.png' items.) cm ^partial ^update src --^report (Updates all 'src' directory children items, printing the applied changes list at the end.) cm ^partial ^update src --^changeset=4 (Updates all 'src' directory children items to the content they loaded in the changeset 4.) cm ^partial ^update xlink/first.png --^changeset=4 (Updates 'xlink/first.png' item to the content it loaded in the changeset 4 of the Xlinked repository.) cm ^partial ^update . --^changeset=2 --^xml=output.xml 2>errors.txt (Updates all current directory children items to the content they loaded in the changeset 2, reporting the result in XML format. The output is stored in a file named 'output.xml' and errors are redirected to the file 'errors.txt'. NOTE: redirection syntax rely on the shell.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_PATCH == Generates a patch file from a spec or applies a generated patch to the current workspace. == CMD_USAGE_PATCH == Usage: cm ^patch <source_spec> [<source_spec>] [--^output=<output_file>] [--^tool=<path_to_diff>] Generates a patch file that contains the differences of a branch, a changeset, or the differences between changesets. It also tracks differences of text and binary files. cm ^patch --^apply <patch_file> [--^tool=<path_to_patch>] Allows to apply the contents of a generated patch file in the current workspace. source_spec Full spec of a changeset or a branch. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about specs.) output_file File to save the patch content. It no file is specified, the patch content will be printed on standard output. patch_file Patch file to apply in the current workspace. Options: --^output Sets the output file of the patch command. --^tool Sets the application to use (diff or patch). == CMD_HELP_PATCH == Limitations: If the output patch file already exists, the command will not overwrite it. When applying a patch, the command will not apply changes to modified files if they are not present on disk. Important: This command requires Diff and Patch tools, publicly available at http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/patch.htm and http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/diffutils.htm Once installed, it's recommended to add their location to the PATH environment variable. Examples: cm ^patch ^cs:4@default@localhost:8084 (Prints on console the differences of cset 4 in unified format.) cm ^patch ^br:/main --^output=file.patch (Generates a patch file with the differences of branch "main".) cm ^patch ^br:/main --^output=file.patch --^tool=C:\gnu\diff.exe (Same as above, using a custom exe.) cm ^patch ^cs:2@default ^cs:4@default (Prints on console the differences between csets 2 and 4 in unified format.) cm ^patch --^apply file.patch --^tool=C:\gnu\patch.exe (Applies the patch in 'file.patch' to the local workspace with a custom exe.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_PROFILE == Allows the user to manage server connection profiles. == CMD_USAGE_PROFILE == Usage: cm ^profile <command> [options] Commands: ^list | ^ls ^create | ^mk ^delete | ^rm To get more information about each command run: cm ^profile <command> --^usage cm ^profile <command> --^help == CMD_HELP_PROFILE == Examples: cm ^profile cm ^profile ^list cm ^profile ^create cm ^profile ^delete 1 == CMD_DESCRIPTION_PROFILE_LIST == Lists the server connection profiles configured on the client. == CMD_USAGE_PROFILE_LIST == Usage: cm ^profile [^list | ^ls] [--^format=<str_format>] Options: --^format Retrieves the output message in a specific format. See Remarks for more info. == CMD_HELP_PROFILE_LIST == Remarks: Output format parameters (--^format option): This command accepts a format string to show the output. The output parameters of this command are the following: {^index} | {0} Profile index in the profiles list {^name} | {1} Profile name {^server} | {2} Profile server {^user} | {3} Profile user {^workingmode} | {4} Profile working mode {^securityconfig} | {5} Profile security config {^tab} Inserts a tab space {^newline} Inserts a new line Examples: cm ^profile (Lists all the profiles using the default format) cm ^profile --^format="{index,2} {server,-20}" (Writes the profile index in 2 spaces, aligned to the right, then two blanks, and then the repository server in 20 spaces, aligned to the left.) cm ^profile --^format="{0,2} {2,-20}" (Writes the same output as the previous example.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_PROFILE_CREATE == Creates a new server connection profile. == CMD_USAGE_PROFILE_CREATE == Usage: cm ^profile [^create | ^mk] (Creates a new profile interactively.) cm ^profile [^create | ^mk] --^server=<server_addr> --^username=<username> --^password=<password> --^workingmode=<workingmode> (Creates a new server connection profile using a user/password authentication mode.) cm ^profile [^create | ^mk] --^server=<server_addr> --^username=<username> --^token=<token> --^workingmode=SSOWorkingMode (Creates a new server connection profile using Single Sign On authentication mode.) Options: --^server Creates the connection profile for the specified server. --^username The username that should be used in the connection profile --^password The plain-text password that should be used in the connection profile. This option is only valid for authentication modes that are based on a user and password. --^token The plain-text token that should be used in the connection profile. This option is only valid for authentication modes that are based on a token (SSOWorkingMode for now). --^workingmode The target server's authentication mode. Available users/security working modes: ^LDAPWorkingMode (LDAP) ^UPWorkingMode (User and password) ^SSOWorkingMode (Single Sign On) == CMD_HELP_PROFILE_CREATE == Remarks: When using this command interactively (without options), the client will try to connect to the server to obtain the working mode and check the credentials. This guarantees that the resulting profile is correct. When specifying the options, the client will generate the connection profile without connecting to the server. This is useful when creating connection profiles for automation purposes. Examples: cm ^profile ^create (Creates a new connection profile interactively.) cm ^profile ^create --^server=plastic.domain.com:8087 --^username=sergio --^password=thisissupersecret --^workingmode=LDAPWorkingMode (Creates a new connection profile to connect to 'plastic.domain.com:8087' using user 'sergio' and password 'thisissupersecret' through LDAP working mode.) cm ^profile ^create --^server=plastic.domain.com:8087 --^username=sergio --^token="TOKENAMoKJ9iAA(...)12fssoprov:unityid" --workingmode=^SSOWorkingMode (Creates a new connection profile to connect to 'plastic.domain.com:8087' using user 'sergio' and the specified token through Single Sign On working mode.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_PROFILE_DELETE == Deletes a server connection profile from the client's configuration. == CMD_USAGE_PROFILE_DELETE == Usage: cm ^profile ^delete | ^rm <index | name> cm ^profile ^delete | ^rm --index=<index> cm ^profile ^delete | ^rm --name=<name> index Profile index in the profiles list. name Profile name. Options: --index Used to disambiguate in case a profile has a name that is a number --name Used to disambiguate in case a profile has a name that is a number == CMD_HELP_PROFILE_DELETE == Remarks: Deletes a server connection profile from the client's configuration. It works both with the profile index and the profile name. The 'cm ^profile ^list' command does not show profile names by default, check 'cm ^profile ^list --help' to check how to output profile's name. Example: cm ^profile ^delete 1 (Removes the profile at index 1.) cm ^profile ^delete 192.168.0.2:8087_UPWorkingMode (Removes the profile with name '192.168.0.2:8087_UPWorkingMode'.) cm ^profile ^delete --name=12 (Removes the profile with name '12'.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_QUERY == Executes SQL queries. Requires SQL storage. == CMD_USAGE_QUERY == Usage: cm ^query <sql_command> [--^outputfile=<output_file>] [--^solveuser=<column_name>[,...]] [--^solvepath=<column_name>[,...]] [--^columnwidth=<value>] [--^nocolumnname] [--^columnseparator=<sep>] [--^repository=<name>] sql_command The sql query to be executed. Options: --^outputfile Writes the result in an output file. --^solveuser Sets the specified columns as username columns. The query interpreter will assume that data of these columns will be users, and will try to solve them. --^solvepath Sets the specified columns as itemid column. The query interpreter will try to solve item id to filesystem paths. --^columnwidth Specifies the width of each column to format the output. --^nocolumnname Does not print column name. --^columnseparator Uses char as column separator instead of a tab (\t). --^repository Repository to query. == CMD_HELP_QUERY == Remarks: This command allows users to execute SQL queries in the server database. In order to write SQL queries, use these two pre-defined functions to manage users and paths: - '^SolveUser(<username>)' that resolves a username into Unity VCS format. - '^SolvePath(<path>)' that resolves a disk path into an item id. Also, you can use options to show query results in a human readable form. You can use the options '--^solveuser=<column_name>' and '--^solvepath=<column_name>' to specify columns that query interpreter must convert to a legible text. You can specify more than one column name, comma separated. Examples: cm ^query "^SELECT * ^FROM ^revision" --^columnwidth=25 --^repository=reptest (Retrieves data from 'revision' table from repository 'reptest'.) cm ^query "^SELECT b.^sname ^as br_name, o.^dtimestamp ^as date ^from ^branch b, \ ^object o, ^seid s ^where b.^iobjid=o.^iobjid ^and o.^fidowner=s.^iseidid ^and \ s.^scode='^SolveUser(john)'" --^outputfile=query.txt (Outputs into a file the branches with owner 'john'.) cm ^query "^select r.^iobjid, r.^fiditem ^as path, s.^scode ^as username ^FROM \ ^revision r, ^object o, ^seid s ^WHERE r.^iobjid=o.^iobjid ^and \ o.^fidowner=s.^iseidid ^and o.^dtimestamp>04/25/2014" \ --^solveuser=username --^solvepath=path --^repository=reptest@server2:9095 (Retrieves selected data from selected repository.) cm ^query "^SELECT * ^FROM ^revision ^WHERE ^fiditem=^SolvePath(c:\mywkpath\info)" (Retrieves all revision data of path 'info'.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_ATTRIBUTE_DELETE == Deletes one or more attributes. == CMD_USAGE_ATTRIBUTE_DELETE == Usage: cm ^attribute | ^att ^delete | ^rm <att_spec>[ ...] att_spec Attributes to delete. Use a whitespace to separate attributes. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about attribute specs.) == CMD_HELP_ATTRIBUTE_DELETE == Remarks: This command removes one or more attributes. Examples: cm ^attribute ^delete ^att:status (Deletes the attribute 'status'.) cm ^att ^rm status ^att:integrated@reptest@server2:8084 (Deletes the attributes 'status' and 'integrated'.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_ATTRIBUTE_UNSET == Unsets an object's attribute. == CMD_USAGE_ATTRIBUTE_UNSET == Usage: cm ^attribute | ^att ^unset <att_spec> <object_spec> att_spec Attribute specification. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about attribute specs.) object_spec Specification of the object to remove the attribute from. Attributes can be set on: branches, changesets, shelvesets, labels, items, and revisions. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about specs.) == CMD_HELP_ATTRIBUTE_UNSET == Remarks: The command unsets an attribute that was previously set on an object. It does not delete the attribute object itself. Examples: cm ^attribute ^unset ^att:status ^br:/main/SCM105 (Removes attribute realization 'status' from branch 'main/SCM105'.) cm ^att ^unset ^att:integrated@reptest@localhost:8084 ^cs:25@reptest@localhost:8084 (Removes attribute realization 'integrated' from changeset 25, all in repository 'reptest'.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_ATTRIBUTE_RENAME == Renames an attribute. == CMD_USAGE_ATTRIBUTE_RENAME == Usage: cm ^attribute | ^att ^rename <att_spec> <new_name> att_spec Attribute to rename. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about attribute specs.) new_name New name for the attribute. == CMD_HELP_ATTRIBUTE_RENAME == Remarks: This command renames an attribute. Examples: cm ^attribute ^rename ^att:status state (Renames the attribute 'status' to 'state'.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_ATTRIBUTE_EDIT == Edits the comment of an attribute. == CMD_USAGE_ATTRIBUTE_EDIT == Usage: cm ^attribute | ^att ^edit <att_spec> <new_comment> att_spec Attribute to change its comment. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about attribute specs.) new_comment New comment for the attribute. You can also specify a default list of values for the attribute. See Remarks for more info. == CMD_HELP_ATTRIBUTE_EDIT == Remarks: This command changes the comment of an attribute. To specify a default list of values for the attribute, you just need to include a line like the following in the attribute comment: 'default: value_one, "value two", value3, "Final value"'. Examples: cm ^attribute ^edit ^att:status "The status of a branch in the CI pipeline." (Edits the comment of the attribute 'status'.) cm ^attribute ^edit ^att:status "Status of a branch. default: open, resolved, reviewed" (Edits the comment of the attribute 'status'. And also specifies a list of values. So when you set the attribute 'status' to an object, you can select one of the following values: "open", "resolved", or "reviewed".) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_PULL == Pulls a branch from another repo. == CMD_USAGE_PULL == Usage: cm ^pull <src_br_spec> <dst_rep_spec> [--^preview] [--^nodata] [TranslateOptions] [--^user=<usr_name> [--^password=<pwd>] | AuthOptions] (Direct server-to-server replication. Pulls a branch from a repository.) cm ^pull <dst_rep_spec> --^package=<pack_file> [AuthOptions] (Package based replication. Imports the package in the destination repository.) cm ^pull ^hydrate <dst_br_spec> [<src_rep_spec>] [--^user=<usr_name> [--^password=<pwd>] | AuthOptions] (Introduces the missing data for all the changesets of a branch previously replicated with '--^nodata'. If a repo to obtain the data is not specified, Unity VCS tries to use the "replication source" (origin of the replicated branch)). cm ^pull ^hydrate <dst_cs_spec> [<src_rep_spec>] [--^user=<usr_name> [--^password=<pwd>] | AuthOptions] (Introduces the missing data for a changeset previously replicated with '--^nodata'. If a repo to obtain the data is not specified, Unity VCS tries to use the "replication source"). src_br_spec The branch to pull from a remote repository. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about branch specs.) dst_br_spec The branch to hydrate. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about branch specs.) dst_cs_spec The changeset to hydrate. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about changeset specs.) dst_rep_spec The destination repository. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about repository specs.) --^package Specifies the previously created package file to import for package based replication. Useful to move data between servers when there is no direct network connection. Refer to 'cm ^push' to create a package file. Options: --^preview Gives information about what changes will be pulled but no changes are actually performed. This option is useful to check the data that will be transferred before replicating changes. --^nodata Replicates the branch changes without replicating the data. This option is not allowed with package replication. TranslateOptions See the Translate options section for more information. --^user, --^password Credentials to use if the authentication mode is different in source and destination and there is not a profile to authenticate to destination. AuthOptions See the Authentication options section for more information. Translate options: --^trmode=(^copy|^name|^table --^trtable=<translation_table_file>) The source and destination repositories may use different authentication modes. The '--^trmode' option specifies how to translate the user names from the source to the destination. The '--^trmode' must be one of the following values: ^copy (Default). Means that the user identifiers will be just copied. ^name The user identifiers will be matched by name. ^table Uses a translation table specified in the option '--^trtable' (see below). --^trtable=<translation_table_file> If the translation mode is 'table', a translation table is a file containing lines in the form <oldname;newname> (one per line). When the branch is written to the destination repository, the objects created by a user identified by "oldname" in the source repository will be set to the user with "newname" on the destination. Authentication options: Authentication data can be specified using one of the two following modes: 1) Using authentication parameters: --^authmode=<mode> --^authdata=<data> --^authmode=(^NameWorkingMode|^LDAPWorkingMode|^ADWorkingMode|^UPWorkingMode) Examples: (^LDAPWorkingMode) --^authdata=::0:dave:fPBea2rPsQaagEW3pKNveA (^UPWorkingMode) --^authdata=dave:fPBea2rPsQaagEW3pKNveA== The '--^authdata' line is the content of the <^SecurityConfig> entry in the client.conf file and the profiles.conf file. The profiles.conf file can be easily generated from the Unity VCS GUI in the replication profiles tab under Preferences. If you are using ^UPWorkingMode, you can simply specify: --^authmode=^UPWorkingMode --^user=<user> --^password=<psw> 2) Authentication file where you may have a different file for each server you connect to, containing the credentials for that server. --^authfile=<authentication_file> The file contains 2 lines: Line 1) mode, as described in '--^authmode' Line 2) authentication data, as described in '--^authdata' == CMD_HELP_PULL == Remarks: The '^pull' command is able to replicate branches (along with their changesets) between a source repository and a destination repository. The repositories can be located at different servers. There are two replication operations: '^push' and '^pull'. A '^pull' operation means that the replication operation will demand data from the source repository to be stored into the destination repository. The client will connect to the destination repository and, from that host, it will establish a connection to the source repository to retrieve the targeted data. During pull it is the destination server which will be connected to the source. Although in a typical distributed scenario a developer pushes data from his local server to the main server, the developer might want to pull the latest repository updates from the main server, too. Replication can resolve situations where concurrent changes have been made on the same branch on two replicated repositories: - Push: If you try to push your data to a repository having newer changes than those you are sending, the system will ask you to pull the latest changes, resolve the merge operation and, finally, try to push again. - Pull: Whenever you pull changesets from a remote branch, they will be correctly linked to their parent changesets. If the changeset you pulled is not a child of the last changeset in the branch, then a multi-headed scenario will appear. The branch will have more than one 'head', or last changeset on the branch. You will need to merge the two 'heads' before being able to push again. Pull can work in two modes: 1) Direct communication between servers: The destination server will fetch the data from the source server, automatically synchronizing data for the specified branch. 2) Import a previously generated package with push and the '--^package' option. Mode 1) requires the user running the command to be authenticated by the remote server, either using the default authentication in the client.conf file, or specifiying the '--^authmode' and '--^authdata' modifiers, or '--^authmode' and '--^user' and '--^password' if the authentication mode is ^UPWorkingMode. Mode 2) requires using a package file previously generated with the push command. Keep in mind that pull replication works in an indirect way. When executed, the command asks the destination repository to connect to the source and obtain the selected branch. However, this can be done directly by using the push command. This will make the command replicate the selected branch from source to destination. Examples: cm ^pull ^br:/main@project1@remoteserver:8084 projectx@myserver:8084 (Pulls the 'main' branch from 'remoteserver' to 'myserver'. In this case, both servers are configured with the same authentication mode.) cm ^pull ^br:/main@project1@remoteserver:8084 projectx@myserver:8084 \ --^authmode=^LDAPWorkingMode --^authdata=::0:dave:fPBea2rPsQaagEW3pKNveA (Pulls the same branch as before, but now the remote server is configured to authenticate users with Active Directory. For instance, I am connecting from a Linux machine to a Windows server configured to use Active Directory integrated mode. I will specify my Active Directory user and cyphered password and pass it as LDAP to the server.) cm ^pull ^br:/main@project1@remoteserver:8084 projectx@myserver:8084 \ --^authmode=^UPWorkingMode --^user=dave --^password=mysecret (Pulls the same branch, but now users are authenticated on the remote server, taking advantage of the user/password database included in Unity VCS.) cm ^pull ^br:/main@project1@remoteserver:8084 projectx@myserver:8084 --^nodata (Replicates the 'main' branch from 'remoteserver' to 'myserver' without data.) cm ^pull ^hydrate ^br:/main@projectx@myserver:8084 projectx@remoteserver:8084 (Hydrates all the changesets in the 'main' branch obtaining the data from the remote server.) cm ^pull ^hydrate ^cs:122169@projectx@myserver:8084 projectx@remoteserver:8084 (Hydrates changeset 122169 in 'myserver' obtaining the data from the remote server.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_PUSH == Pushes a branch to another repo. == CMD_USAGE_PUSH == Usage: cm ^push <src_br_spec> <dst_rep_spec> [--^preview] [TranslateOptions] [--^user=<usr_name> [--^password=<pwd>] | AuthOptions] (Direct server-to-server replication. Pushes a branch from a repository.) cm ^push <src_br_spec> --^package=<pack_file> [AuthOptions] (Package based replication. Creates a replication package in the source server with the selected branch.) src_br_spec The branch to push to a remote repository. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about branch specs.) dst_rep_spec The destination repository. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about repository specs.) --^package Specifies path for exporting replication package for package based replication. Useful to move data between servers when there is no direct network connection. Options: --^preview Gives information about what changes will be pushed, but no changes are actually performed. This option is useful to check the data that will be transferred before replicating changes. TranslateOptions See the Translate options section for more information. --^user, --^password Credentials to use if the authentication mode is different in source and destination and there is not a profile to authenticate to destination. AuthOptions See the Authentication options section for more information. Translate options: --^trmode=(^copy|^name|^table --^trtable=<translation_table_file>) The source and destination repositories may use different authentication modes. The '--^trmode' option specifies how to translate the user names from the source to the destination. The '--^trmode' must be one of the following values: ^copy (Default). Means that the user identifiers will be just copied. ^name The user identifiers will be matched by name. ^table Uses a translation table specified in the option '--^trtable' (see below). --^trtable=<translation_table_file> If the translation mode is 'table', a translation table is a file containing lines in the form <oldname;newname> (one per line). When the branch is written to the destination repository, the objects created by a user identified by "oldname" in the source repository will be set to the user with "newname" on the destination. Authentication options: Authentication data can be specified using one of the two following modes: 1) Using authentication parameters: --^authmode=<mode> --^authdata=<data> --^authmode=(^NameWorkingMode|^LDAPWorkingMode|^ADWorkingMode|^UPWorkingMode) Examples: (^LDAPWorkingMode) --^authdata=::0:dave:fPBea2rPsQaagEW3pKNveA (^UPWorkingMode) --^authdata=dave:fPBea2rPsQaagEW3pKNveA== The '--^authdata' line is the content of the <^SecurityConfig> entry in the client.conf file and the profiles.conf file. The profiles.conf file can be easily generated from the Unity VCS in the replication profiles tab under Preferences. If you are using ^UPWorkingMode, you can simply specify: --^authmode=^UPWorkingMode --^user=<user> --^password=<psw> 2) Authentication file where you may have a different file for each server you connect to, containing the credentials for that server. --^authfile=<authentication_file> The file contains 2 lines: Line 1) mode, as described in '--^authmode' Line 2) authentication data, as described in '--^authdata' == CMD_HELP_PUSH == Remarks: The '^push' command is able to replicate branches (along with their changesets) between a source repository and a destination repository. The repositories can be located at different servers. There are two replication operations: '^push' and '^pull'. A '^push' operation means that the replication operation will send data from the source repository to the destination repository. In this case, the client will connect to the source repository, getting the data to replicate, and then it will send it to the destination repository. While the former (source) must have connectivity to the destination, the latter (destination) will not connect itself to the source. In a typical distributed scenario, a developer pushes data from his local server to the main server. Also, the developer might want to pull the latest repository updates from the main server, too. Replication can resolve situations where concurrent changes have been made on the same branch on two replicated repositories. - Push: If you try to push your data to a repository having newer changes than those you are sending, the system will ask you to pull the latest changes, resolve the merge operation and, finally, try to push again. - Pull: Whenever you pull changesets from a remote branch, they will be correctly linked to their parent changesets. If the changeset you pulled is not a child of the last changeset in the branch, then a multi-headed scenario will appear. The branch will have more than one 'head', or last changeset on the branch. You will need to merge the two 'heads' before being able to push again. Push can work in two modes: 1) Direct communication between servers: The origin server will send the data to the destination server, automatically synchronizing data for the specified branch. 2) Export package mode: The client will only connect to the source and generate a replication package obtaining both data and metadata for the specified branch. The '--^package' modifier will be used. Both modes require the user running the command to be authenticated by the server, either using the default authentication in the client.conf file, or specifiying the '--^authmode' and '--^authdata' modifiers. The ^push replication works in a direct way. When executed, the command will replicate the selected branch from source to destination, instead of asking the destination repository to connect to the source and obtain the selected branch (as the pull does). Examples: cm ^push ^br:/main@project1@myserver:8084 projectx@remoteserver:8084 (Replicates the 'main' branch from 'myserver' to 'remoteserver'. In this case, both servers are configured with the same authentication mode.) cm ^push ^br:/main@project1@myserver:8084 projectx@remoteserver:8084 \ --^authmode=^LDAPWorkingMode --^authdata=::0:dave:fPBea2rPsQaagEW3pKNveA (Replicates same branch as before, but now the remote server is configured to authenticate users with Active Directory. For instance, I am connecting from a Linux machine to a Windows server configured to use Active Directory integrated mode. I will specify my Active Directory user and cyphered password and pass it as LDAP to the server.) cm ^push ^br:/main@project1@myserver:8084 projectx@remoteserver:8084 \ --^authmode=^UPWorkingMode --^user=dave --^password=mysecret (Replicates the same branch, but now users are authenticated on the remote server, taking advantage of the user/password database included in Unity VCS.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_CLONE == Clones a remote repository. == CMD_USAGE_CLONE == Usage: cm ^clone <src_rep_spec> [<dst_rep_spec> | <dst_repserver_spec>] [--^user=<usr_name> [--^password=<pwd>] | AuthOptions] [TranslateOptions] (Direct repository-to-repository clone.) cm ^clone <src_rep_spec> --^package=<pack_file> [--^user=<usr_name> [--^password=<pwd>] | AuthOptions] (Clones to an intermediate package, that can be imported later using a pull into the destination repository.) src_rep_spec Source repository of the clone operation. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about repository specs.) dst_rep_spec Destination repository of the clone operation. If it exists, it must be empty. If it does not exist, it will be created. If it is not specified, the command will use user's default repository server. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about repository specs.) dst_repserver_spec Destination repository server of the clone operation. If there is a repository with the same name as <src_rep_spec> in the destination repository server, it must be empty. If there is not, it will be created. If it is not specified, the command will use user's default repository server. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about repository server specs.) Options: --^user, --^password Credentials to use if the authentication mode is different in source and destination and there is not a profile to authenticate to destination. --^package Exports the specified repository to a package file, instead of a repository. Useful for moving data between servers when there is no direct network connection. The resulting package must be imported using the pull command. TranslateOptions See the Translate options section for more information. AuthOptions See the Authentication options section for more information. Translate options: --^trmode=(^copy|^name|^table --^trtable=<translation_table_file>) The source and destination repositories may use different authentication modes. The '--^trmode' option specifies how to translate the user names from the source to the destination. The '--^trmode' must be one of the following values: ^copy (Default.) Means that the user identifiers will be just copied. ^name The user identifiers will be matched by name. ^table Uses a translation table specified in the option '--^trtable' (see below). --^trtable=<translation_table_file> If the translation mode is 'table', a translation table is a file containing lines in the form <oldname;newname> (one per line). When the branch is written to the destination repository, the objects created by a user identified by "oldname" in the source repository will be set to the user with "newname" on the destination. Authentication options: Authentication data can be specified using one of the two following modes: 1) Using authentication parameters: --^authmode=<mode> --^authdata=<data> --^authmode=(^NameWorkingMode|^LDAPWorkingMode|^ADWorkingMode|^UPWorkingMode) Examples: (^LDAPWorkingMode) --^authdata=::0:dave:fPBea2rPsQaagEW3pKNveA (^UPWorkingMode) --^authdata=dave:fPBea2rPsQaagEW3pKNveA== The '--^authdata' line is the content of the <^SecurityConfig> entry in the client.conf file and the profiles.conf file. The profiles.conf file can be easily generated from the Unity VCS in the connection profiles tab under Preferences. If you are using ^UPWorkingMode, you can simply specify: --^authmode=^UPWorkingMode --^user=<user> --^password=<pwd> 2) Authentication file where you may have a different file for each server you connect to, containing the credentials for that server. --^authfile=<authentication_file> The file contains 2 lines: Line 1) mode, as described in '--^authmode' Line 2) authentication data, as described in '--^authdata' == CMD_HELP_CLONE == Remarks: The clone command can replicate branches (along with their changesets, labels, attributes, reviews, and so on) from a source repository to a destination repository. The repositories can be located at different servers. The destination repository can be created beforehand, but if it contains previous data, the clone operation will fail. The clone operation does NOT clone repository submodules, nor repositories under a Xlink. Examples: cm ^clone awesomeProject@tardis@cloud (Clones 'awesomeProject' repository from 'tardis@cloud' organization into a local repository with the same name.) cm ^clone repo@server.home:9095 repo-local (Clones 'repo' from 'server.home:9095' into 'repo-local' at user's default repository server.) cm ^clone project@192.168.111.130:8084 ^repserver:192.168.111.200:9095 (Clones 'project' repository from '192.168.111.130:8084' into 'project@192.168.111.200:9095'.) cm ^clone project@ldapserver:8084 --authfile=credentials.txt \ --^trmode=table --^trtable=table.txt (Clones 'project' repository from 'ldapserver:8084' using an authentication file against the remote repository, and translating users following the specified translation table.) cm ^clone project@server.home:9095 --^package=project.plasticpkg cm ^repository ^create project@mordor.home:8084 cm ^pull --^package=project.plasticpkg project@mordor.home:8084 (Clones 'project' repository from 'server.home:9095' into the package 'project.plasticpkg', which is later imported through a pull into the 'project' repository at 'mordor.home:8084'.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_REVERT == Reverts an item to a previous revision. == CMD_USAGE_REVERT == Usage: cm ^revert <revspec> revspec Specification of the changeset that contains the revision which content will be loaded in the workspace. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about revision specs.) == CMD_HELP_REVERT == Remarks: The item must be checked in. Examples: cm ^revert dir#^cs:0 cm ^revert C:\mywks\dir\file1.txt#23456 == CMD_DESCRIPTION_REVISION_HISTORY == Displays the history of a file or directory. == CMD_USAGE_REVISION_HISTORY == Usage: cm ^history | ^hist <item_path>[ ...] [--^long | --^format=<str_format>] [--^symlink] [--^xml[=<output_file>]] [--^encoding=<name>] [--^moveddeleted] item_path Item's path. Use a whitespace to separate paths. Use double quotes (" ") to specify paths containing spaces. Paths can be server path revisions too. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about specs.) Options: --^long Shows additional information. --^format Retrieves the output message in a specific format. See Remarks for more info. This option cannnot be combined with '--^xml'. --^symlink Applies the history operation to the symlink and not to the target. --^xml Prints the output in XML format to the standard output. It is possible to specify an output file. This option cannot be combined with '--^format'. --^encoding Used with the '--^xml' option, specifies the encoding to use in the XML output, i.e.: utf-8. See the MSDN documentation at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.text.encoding.aspx to get the table of supported encodings and its format, (at the end of the page, in the "Name" column). --^moveddeleted Include move and remove operations in the history. --^limit Displays the N most recent revisions for the specified items, sorted by date and changeset id. If a negative number is supplied, it will return an empty list. If a number higher than the number of revisions is supplied, it will return all the available revisions regarding that item. == CMD_HELP_REVISION_HISTORY == Remarks: This command shows a list of revisions for a given item, and label, branch, and comment info for each revision. Output format parameters (--^format option): This command accepts a format string to show the output. The output parameters of this command are the following: {0} | {^date} Date. {1} | {^changesetid} Changeset number. {2} | {^branch} Branch. {4} | {^comment} Comment. {5} | {^owner} Owner. {6} | {^id} Revision id. {7} | {^repository} Repository. {8} | {^server} Server. {9} | {^repspec} Repository spec. {10}| {^datastatus} Availability of the revision data. {11}| {^path} Path or spec passed as <item_path>. {12}| {^itemid} Item Id. {13}| {^size} Size. {14}| {^hash} Hash code. {^tab} Inserts a tab space. {^newline} Inserts a new line. Examples: cm ^history file1.txt "file 2.txt" cm ^hist c:\workspace --^long (Displays all information.) cm ^history link --^symlink (Applies the history operation to the symlink file and not to the target.) cm ^history ^serverpath:/src/foo/bar.c#^br:/main/task001@myserver (Retrieves the revision history from a server path in a given branch.) cm ^history bar.c, foo.c --long --limit=2 (Retrieves the 2 last revisions for the bar.c and foo.c items.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_REVISION_TREE == Shows the revision tree for an item. == CMD_USAGE_REVISION_TREE == Usage: cm ^tree <path> [--^symlink] path Item path. Options: --^symlink Applies the operation to the link file and not to the target. == CMD_HELP_REVISION_TREE == Examples: cm ^tree fichero1.txt cm ^tree c:\workspace cm ^tree link --^symlink (Applies the operation to the symlink file and not to the target.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_RM == Allows the user to delete files and directories. == CMD_USAGE_RM == Usage: cm ^remove | ^rm <command> [options] Commands: ^controlled (optional) ^private To get more information about each command run: cm ^remove <command> --^usage cm ^remove <command> --^help == CMD_HELP_RM == Examples: cm ^remove \path\controlled_file.txt cm ^remove ^private \path\private_file.txt == CMD_DESCRIPTION_RM_CONTROLLED == Deletes a file or directory from version control. == CMD_USAGE_RM_CONTROLLED == Usage: cm ^remove | ^rm <item_path>[ ...] [--^format=<str_format>] [--^errorformat=<str_format>] [--^nodisk] item_path Items path to remove. Use double quotes (" ") to specify paths containing spaces. Use a whitespace to separate paths. Options: --^format Retrieves the output progress message in a specific format. See the Examples for more information. --^errorformat Retrieves the error message (if any) in a specific format. See the Examples for more information. --^nodisk Removes from version control, but keeps the item on disk. == CMD_HELP_RM_CONTROLLED == Remarks: Items are deleted from disk. Removed items are removed from the parent directory in the source code control. Requirements: - The item must be under source code control. Reading input from stdin: The '^remove' command can read paths from stdin. To do this, pass a single dash "-". Example: cm ^remove - Paths will be read until an empty line is entered. This allows you to use pipe to specify which files to remove. Example: dir /S /B *.c | cm ^remove - (In Windows, removes all .c files in the workspace.) Examples: cm ^remove src (Removes 'src'. If src is a directory, this is the same as 'cm ^remove -^R src'.) cm ^remove c:\workspace\file.txt --^format="{0} - REMOVED" \ --^errorformat="{0} - ERROR REMOVING" (Removes 'file.txt' from version control and from disk, writing "c:\workspace\file.txt - ^REMOVED" if the operation succeeded, or "c:\workspace\file.txt - ^ERROR ^REMOVING" otherwise.) cm ^remove c:\workspace\file.txt --^nodisk (Removes 'file.txt' from version control, but keeps it on disk.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_RM_PRIVATE == Deletes a private file or directory. Warning: files deleted using the command are permanently erased, and are not recoverable. It is recommended that you use the '--^dry-run' option to check which files will be affected by the command. == CMD_USAGE_RM_PRIVATE == Usage: cm ^remove | ^rm ^private <path>[ ...] [-^R | -^r | --^recursive] [--^ignored] [--^verbose] [--^dry-run] path Path of the files or directories to remove. Use double quotes (" ") to specify paths containing spaces. Use a whitespace to separate paths. Options: --^r Recursively deletes private files from within controlled directories. --^ignored Deletes also ignored and cloaked files and directories. --^verbose Prints all affected paths. --^dry-run Runs the command without making any changes on disk. == CMD_HELP_RM_PRIVATE == Remarks: If the path is a private file or directory, it will be deleted from disk. If the path is a controlled file, the command fails. If the path is a controlled directory, the command fails unless you specify the '-^r' option, in which case it will delete all private files and directories below the specified directory. Examples: cm ^remove ^private private_directory (Deletes 'private_directory'.) cm ^remove ^private c:\workspace\controlled_directory (Fails, because 'controlled_directory' is not private.) cm ^remove ^private -^r c:\workspace\controlled_directory (Deletes all private files and directories below 'controlled_directory'.) cm ^rm ^private --^dry-run --^verbose c:\workspace\controlled_directory -^r (Shows all of the paths affected by the deletion of private files below 'controlled_directory' without actually deleting anything.) cm ^rm ^private --^verbose c:\workspace\controlled_directory -^r (Shows all of the paths affected by the deletion of private files below 'controlled_directory', performing the delete.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_TRIGGER_DELETE == Deletes a trigger. == CMD_USAGE_TRIGGER_DELETE == Usage: cm ^trigger | ^tr ^delete | ^rm <subtype-type> <position_number> [--^server=<repserverspec>] subtype-type Trigger execution and trigger operation. (Use 'cm ^showtriggertypes' to see a list of trigger types.) position_number Position assigned to the trigger when it was created. Options: --^server Deletes the trigger on the specified server. If no server is specified, executes the command on the one configured on the client. == CMD_HELP_TRIGGER_DELETE == Examples: cm ^trigger ^delete ^after-setselector 4 cm ^tr ^rm ^after-setselector 4 == CMD_DESCRIPTION_ATTRIBUTE_SET == Sets an attribute on a given object. == CMD_USAGE_ATTRIBUTE_SET == Usage: cm ^attribute | ^att ^set <att_spec> <object_spec> <att_value> att_spec Attribute specification. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about attribute specs.) object_spec Specification of the object to set the attribute on. Attributes can be set on: branches, changesets, shelvesets, labels, items, and revisions. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about specs.) att_value The attribute value to set to the object. == CMD_HELP_ATTRIBUTE_SET == Remarks: An attribute can be set on an object to save additional information for this object. Attributes can be set on the following objects: branches, changesets, shelvesets, labels, items, and revisions. Examples: cm ^attribute ^set ^att:status ^br:/main/SCM105 open (Sets attribute 'status' to branch 'SCM105' with value 'open'.) cm ^att ^set ^att:integrated@reptest@server2:8084 ^lb:LB008@reptest@server2:8084 yes (Sets attribute 'integrated' to label 'LB008' in repository 'reptest' with value 'yes'.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_SETOWNER == Sets the owner of an object. == CMD_USAGE_SETOWNER == Usage: cm ^setowner | ^sto --^user=<usr_name> | --^group=<group> <object_spec> --^user User name. New owner of the object. --^group Group name. New owner of the object. object_spec Specification of the object to set the new owner on. The owner can be set on the following objects: repository server, repository, branch, changeset, label, item, revision and attribute. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about specs.) == CMD_HELP_SETOWNER == Remarks: The owner of an object can be a user or a group. The owner can be set on the following objects: repository server, repository, branch, changeset, label, item, revision, and attribute. Examples: cm ^setowner --^user=john ^repserver:localhost:8084 (Sets 'john' as repository server owner.) cm ^sto --^group=development ^rep:mainRep@PlasticServer:8084 (Sets 'development' group as owner of 'mainRep' repository.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_SETSELECTOR == Sets the selector to a workspace. == CMD_USAGE_SETSELECTOR == This command is deprecated. It is still present for backwards compatibility but selectors were largely deprecated in Plastic SCM 4.0. Selectors still exist to specify the working branch or changeset, but the old rules to filter paths are no longer supported. Usage: cm ^setselector | ^sts [--^file=<selector_file>] [--^ignorechanges] [--^forcedetailedprogress] [<wk_path> | <wk_spec>] [--^noinput] Options: --^file File to load a selector from. --^ignorechanges Ignores the pending changes warning message that is shown if there are pending changes detected when updating the workspace. --^forcedetailedprogress Forces detailed progress even when standard output is redirected. --^noinput Skips the interactive questions to continue the operation with pending changes or to shelve them. wk_path Path of the workspace to set the selector. wk_spec Workspace specification. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about workspace specs.) == CMD_HELP_SETSELECTOR == Remarks: This command sets the selector of a workspace. A workspace needs information to load revisions from the repository. To get this information, Unity VCS uses a selector. Using a selector, it is possible to load revisions from a given branch, label, or changeset. If a file to load the selector is not specified, the default Operating System editor will be executed. Sample selector: ^repository "^default" // working repository ^path "/" // rules will be applied to the root directory ^branch "/^main" // obtain latest revisions from ^br:/^main ^checkout "/^main" // place checkouts on branch ^br:/^main Examples: cm ^sts (Opens the current selector file to be applied.) cm ^sts ^wk:workspace_projA@reptest (Opens the specified selector file to be applied.) cm ^setselector --^file=c:\selectors\sel.xml (Sets the specified selector file in the current workspace.) cm ^setselector --^file=c:\selectors\sel.xml ^wk:MyWorkspace (Sets the specified selector file in the selected workspace.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_SHELVE == Shelves the contents of checked-out items. == CMD_USAGE_SHELVE == This command is deprecated. Use 'cm ^shelveset' instead. Usage: cm ^shelve [<item_path>+] [--^all] [--^dependencies] [-^c=str_comment | -^commentsfile=<comments_file>] [--^encoding=name] [--^comparisonmethod=comp_method] [--^summaryformat] (Shelves the contents.) cm ^shelve --^apply=<sh_spec> [--^mount] (Applies a stored shelveset.) --^apply Restores the shelved contents of the specified shelveset. Shelve specification: check 'cm ^help ^objectspec'. cm ^shelve --^delete=<sh_spec> (Removes a stored shelveset.) --^delete Removes the specified shelveset. Shelveset specification: check 'cm ^help ^objectspec'. Options: item_path Items to be shelved, separated by spaces. Quotes (") can be used to specify paths containing spaces. --^all The items changed, moved and deleted locally, on the given paths, will also be included. --^dependencies Includes local change dependencies in the items to shelve. -^c Applies the specified comment to the created shelveset. -^commentsfile Applies the comment in the specified file to the created shelveset. --^encoding Specifies the output encoding, i.e.: utf-8. See the MSDN documentation at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.text.encoding.aspx to get the table of supported encodings and its format, (at the end of the page, in the "Name" column). --^comparisonmethod Sets the comparison method. See remarks for more info. --^summaryformat Just prints the shelveset spec created for the main repo, skipping shelvesets of xlinked repos and any other output messages. For automation purposes. --^mount The mount point for the given repository. == CMD_HELP_SHELVE == Remarks: If neither <item_path> nor any option is specified, the shelve will involve all the pending changes in the workspace. The shelve operation is always applied recursively from the given path. Requirements to shelve an item: - The item must be under source code control. - The item must be checked out or changed (--^all option must be used). Comparison methods: ^ignoreeol Ignores end of line differences. ^ignorewhitespaces Ignores whitespace differences. ^ignoreeolandwhitespaces Ignores end of line and whitespace differences. ^recognizeall Detects end of line and whitespace differences. Set the PLASTICEDITOR environment variable to specify an editor for entering comments. If the PLASTICEDITOR environment variable is set, and the comment is empty, the editor will be automatically launched to allow you to specify the comment. Examples: cm ^shelve -^c="my comment" (Shelves all the pending changes in the current workspace including a comment.) cm ^shelve file1.txt "file 2.txt" -^commentsfile=commentshelve.txt (Shelves the selected pending changes and applies the comment in the commentshelve.txt file.) cm ^shelve --^apply=^sh:3 (Applies a stored shelveset.) cm ^shelve --^delete=^sh:3 (Removes a stored shelveset.) cm ^status --^short --^changelist=pending_to_review | cm ^shelve - (Shelves client changelist. The command above lists the paths in the changelist named 'pending_to_review' and the path list is redirected to the input of the shelve command.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_SHELVESET == Allows the user to manage shelvesets. == CMD_USAGE_SHELVESET == Usage: cm ^shelveset <command> [options] Commands: ^create | ^mk ^delete | ^rm ^apply To get more information about each command run: cm ^shelveset <command> --^usage cm ^shelveset <command> --^help == CMD_HELP_SHELVESET == Examples: cm ^shelveset ^create -^c="my comment" cm ^shelveset ^delete ^sh:3 cm ^shelve ^apply ^sh:3 == CMD_DESCRIPTION_SHELVESET_CREATE == Shelves pending changes. == CMD_USAGE_SHELVESET_CREATE == Usage: cm ^shelveset ^create | ^mk [<item_path>[ ...]] [--^all] [--^dependencies] [-^c=<str_comment> | -^commentsfile=<comments_file>] [--^summaryformat] Options: item_path Items to shelve. Use a whitespace to separate user names. Use double quotes (" ") to specify paths containing spaces. --^all The items changed, moved, and deleted locally, on the given paths, will also be included. --^dependencies Includes local change dependencies into the items to shelve. --^summaryformat Just prints the shelveset spec created for the main repo, skipping shelvesets of xlinked repos and any other output messages. For automation purposes. -^c Applies the specified comment to the created shelve. -^commentsfile Applies the comment in the specified file to the created shelve. == CMD_HELP_SHELVESET_CREATE == The '^shelveset ^create' command stores the contents of checked out items inside the repository. This way the contents are protected without the need to checkin the files. Remarks: If neither <item_path> nor any option is specified, the shelveset will include all the pending changes in the workspace. The '^shelveset ^create' operation is always applied recursively from the given path. Requirements to shelve an item: - The item must be under source code control. - The item must be checked out or changed ('--^all' option must be used). Set the PLASTICEDITOR environment variable to specify an editor for entering comments. If the PLASTICEDITOR environment variable is set, and the comment is empty, the editor will be automatically launched to allow you to specify the comment. Examples: cm ^shelveset ^create -^c="my comment" (Shelves all the pending changes in the current workspace including a comment.) cm ^shelveset file1.txt "file 2.txt" -^commentsfile=commentshelve.txt (Shelves the selected pending changes and applies the comment in the 'commentshelve.txt' file. Note, '^create' is the default subcommand.) cm ^status --^short --^changelist=pending_to_review | cm ^shelveset - (Shelves client changelist.

Use a whitespace to separate paths. Use double quotes (" ") to specify paths containing spaces. Use . to apply the operation to current directory. Options: -^a | --^all Undoes all of the changes in the specified items. If the item(s) were checked out, the checkout will be reverted. If the item(s) were locally modified, the modifications will be reverted. --^symlink Applies the undocheckout operation to the link and not to the target. --^silent Does not show any output. --^machinereadable Outputs the result in an easy-to-parse format. --^startlineseparator Used with the '--^machinereadable' flag, specifies how the lines should start. --^endlineseparator Used with the '--^machinereadable' flag, specifies how the lines should end. --^fieldseparator Used with the '--^machinereadable' flag, specifies how the fields should be separated. --^keepchanges (-^k) Undoes the checkout and preserves the local changes. Sample: undo the checkout of a file leave it as locally changed with the same content on disk that it was. This option cannot be used with dynamic workspaces. == CMD_HELP_UNCO == Remarks: If an item is checked out and you do not want to checkin it, you can undo the checkout using this command. Both files and folders can be unchecked out. The item will be updated to the state it had before checking it out. Requirements: - The item must be under source code control. - The item must be checked out. Reading input from stdin: The '^undocheckout' command can read paths from stdin. To do this, pass a single dash "-". Example: cm ^undocheckout ^checkin - Paths will be read until an empty line is entered. This allows you to use pipe to specify for which files to undo the checkout. Example: dir /S /B *.c | cm ^undocheckout --^all - (In Windows, undoes the checkout of all .c files in the workspace.) Examples: cm ^undocheckout . (Undoes checkouts in the current directory.) cm ^undocheckout file1.txt file2.txt cm unco c:\workspace\file.txt (Undoes checkouts of the selected files.) cm ^unco -^a file1.txt (Undoes checkouts or local modifications of 'file1.txt') cm ^unco link --^symlink (Applies the undocheckout operation to the symlink file and not to the target.) cm ^status --^short --^changelist=pending_to_review | cm ^undocheckout - (Undoes client changelist.

Use a whitespace to separate paths. Use double quotes (" ") to specify paths containing spaces. Use . to apply the operation to current directory. Options: -^R Undoes unchanged items recursively in the specified paths. --^symlink Applies the uncounchanged operation to the link and not to the target. --^silent Does not show any output. == CMD_HELP_UNCOUNCHANGED == Remarks: This command is applied from the root of the workspace recursively. Reading input from stdin: The '^uncounchanged' command can read paths from stdin. To do this, pass a single dash "-". Example: cm ^uncounchanged - Paths will be read until an empty line is entered. This allows you to use pipe to specify for which unchanged files to undo the checkout. Example: dir /S /B *.c | cm ^uncounchanged - (In Windows, undoes the checkout on all unchanged .c files in the workspace.) Examples: cm ^uncounchanged . -^R (Undoes checkouts of not changed files recursively on the current directory.) cm ^unuc /home/myuser/mywk/project/templates -^R (Undoes checkouts of not changed files recursively on the selected directory.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_UNDELETE == Undeletes an item using a specific revision. == CMD_USAGE_UNDELETE == Usage: cm ^undelete <revspec> <path> revspec Specification of the revision whose contents will be loaded in the workspace. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about revision specs.) path Restore path. == CMD_HELP_UNDELETE == Remarks: The item to undelete should not be already loaded in the workspace. The '^undelete' operation is not supported for xlinks. Example: cm ^undelete ^revid:756 C:\mywks\src\foo.c cm ^undelete ^itemid:68#^cs:2 C:\mywks\dir\myfile.pdf cm ^undelete ^serverpath:/src#^br:/main C:\mywks\Dir == CMD_DESCRIPTION_UNDOCHANGE == Undoes the changes on a path. == CMD_USAGE_UNDOCHANGE == Usage: cm ^undochange | ^unc <item_path>[ ...] [-^R | -^r | --^recursive] item_path Items to apply the operation. Use a whitespace to separate paths. Use double quotes (" ") to specify paths containing spaces. Use . to apply the operation to current directory. Options: -^R Applies the operation recursively. == CMD_HELP_UNDOCHANGE == Remarks: If an item is checked out or modified but not checked in and you do not want to check it in, you can undo the changes using this command. The item will be updated to the contents it had before. Reading input from stdin: The '^undochange' command can read paths from stdin. To do this, pass a single dash "-". Example: cm ^undochange - Paths will be read until an empty line is entered. This allows you to use pipe to specify for which files to undo changes. Example: dir /S /B *.c | cm ^undochange - (In Windows, undoes the changes of all .c files in the workspace.) Examples: cm ^unc . (Undoes changes of the files on the current directory.) cm ^undochange . -^R (Undoes changes of the files recursively on the current directory.) cm ^unc file1.txt "file 2.txt" (Undoes changes of the selected files.) cm ^unc c:\workspace\file.txt (Undoes changes of the selected file.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_UNDO == Undoes changes in a workspace. == CMD_USAGE_UNDO == Usage: cm ^undo [<path>[ ...]] [--^symlink] [-^r | --^recursive] [<filter>[ ...]] [--^silent | --^machinereadable [--^startlineseparator=<sep>] [--^endlineseparator=<sep>] [--^fieldseparator=<sep>]] path Path of the files or directories to apply the operation to. Use double quotes (" ") to specify paths containing spaces. Use a whitespace to separate paths. If no path is specified, by default the undo operation will take all of the files in the current directory. filter Applies the specified filter or filters to the given paths. Use a whitespace to separate filters. See the Filters section for more information. Options: --^symlink Applies the undo operation to the symlink and not to the target. -^r Executes the undo recursively. --^silent Does not show any output. --^machinereadable Outputs the result in an easy-to-parse format. --^startlineseparator Used with the '--^machinereadable' flag, specifies how the lines should start. --^endlineseparator Used with the '--^machinereadable' flag, specifies how the lines should end. --^fieldseparator Used with the '--^machinereadable' flag, specifies how the fields should be separated. Filters: The paths can be filtered using one or more of the filters below. Each of those filters refers to a type of change: --^checkedout Selects checked-out files and directories. --^unchanged Selects files whose content is unchanged. --^changed Selects locally changed or checked-out files and directories. --^deleted Selects deleted files and directories. --^moved Selects moved files and directories. --^added Selects added files and directories. If the path matches one or more of the specified kinds of changes, those types of changes will be undone on that said path. For example, if you specify both '--^checkedout' and '--^moved', if a file is both checkedout and moved, both changes will be undone. If no filter is specified, all kinds of changes are undone. == CMD_HELP_UNDO == Remarks: - If no path is specified, it will undo every change in the current directory but not recursively. - If one or more paths are specified, it will undo every change in the specified paths but not recursively. - If you want the operation to be recursive, you must specify the '-^r' flag. To undo all of the changes below a directory including changes affecting the directory itself, run the following command: cm ^undo dirpath -^r If dirpath is a workspace path, every change in the workspace will be undone. - The '^undo' command is dangerous because it undoes work irreversibly. Once the ^undo has finished, it is not possible to recover the previous state of the files and directories affected by it. - Consider the following scenario: /src |- file.txt |- code.cs \- /test |- test_a.py \- test_b.py These commands are equivalent when executed from the /src directory: cm ^undo cm ^undo * cm ^undo file.txt code.cs /test These commands are also equivalent when executed from the /src directory: cm ^undo . cm ^undo /src file.txt code.cs Deleted items: To undo file and directory deletions, you must either specify the full path of the item, or specify the containing directory and use the recursive ('-^r') flag. For example: cm ^undo . (Does NOT undo deletions (but other changes) in the current directory.) cm ^undo . -^r (Undoes all deletions (and other changes) in the current directory recursively.) cm ^undo src/file.txt (Undoes deletion (or other change) of src/file.txt.) Examples: cm ^undo . -^r (Undoes all changes in the current directory recursively. If executed from the workspace's root, undoes all changes in the entire workspace.) cm ^co file.txt cm ^undo file.txt (Undoes the checkout on 'file.txt'.) cm ^undo c:\otherworkspace\file.txt (Undoes changes in file 'file.txt' located in a workspace other than the current one.) ^echo ^content >> file.txt cm ^undo file.txt (Undoes the local change to 'file.txt'.) cm ^undo src (Undoes changes to the src directory and its files.) cm ^undo src/* (Undoes changes in every file and directory contained in src, without affecting src.) cm ^undo *.cs (Undoes changes to every file or directory that matches *.cs in the current directory.) cm ^undo *.cs -^r (Undoes changes on every file or directory that matches *.cs in the current directory and every directory below it.) cm ^co file1.txt file2.txt ^echo ^content >> file1.txt cm ^undo --^unchanged (Undoes the checkout of unchanged 'file2.txt', ignoring locally changed 'file1.txt'.) ^echo ^content >> file1.txt ^echo ^content >> file2.txt cm ^co file1.txt cm ^undo --^checkedout (Undoes the changes in checked-out file 'file1.txt', ignoring 'file2.txt' as it is not checked-out.) cm ^add file.txt cm ^undo file.txt (Undo the add of 'file.txt' making it once again a private file.) ^rm file1.txt ^echo ^content >> file2.txt cm ^add file3.txt cm ^undo --^deleted --^added * (Undoes the 'file1.txt' delete and 'file3.txt' add, ignoring the 'file2.txt' change.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_LOCK_UNLOCK == Undoes item locks on a lockserver. == CMD_USAGE_LOCK_UNLOCK == Usage: cm ^lock ^unlock [<repserverspec>] <guid>[ ...] repserverspec Repository server specification. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about repserver specs.) guid A list of item GUIDs to be unlocked. Use a whitespace to separate GUIDs. == CMD_HELP_LOCK_UNLOCK == Remarks: - The command uses the specified server to unlock the items. - If no server is specified, the command tries to obtain a server from the current workspace. - If no server was calculated on the previous steps, the server is obtained from the current Unity VCS client configuration. - Only the administrator of the server can run the 'cm ^unlock' command. - To specify a GUID, the format should be the 32-digit separated by hyphens format (optionally enclosed in braces): {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000} or 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 Examples: cm ^lock ^unlock 91961b14-3dfe-4062-8c4c-f33a81d201f5 (Undoes the selected item lock.) cm ^lock ^unlock DIGITALIS:8084 2340b4fa-47aa-4d0e-bb00-0311af847865 \ bcb98a61-2f62-4309-9a26-e21a2685e075 (Undoes the selected item locks on lockserver named 'DIGITALIS'.) cm ^lock ^unlock tardis@cloud 4740c4fa-56af-3dfe-de10-8711fa248635 \ 71263c17-5eaf-5271-4d2c-a25f72e101d4 (Undoes the selected item locks on cloud lockserver named 'tardis'.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_UPDATE == Updates the workspace and downloads latest changes. == CMD_USAGE_UPDATE == Usage: cm ^update [<item_path> | --^last] [--^changeset=<csetspec>] [--^cloaked] [--^dontmerge] [--^forced] [--^ignorechanges] [--^override] [--^recursewk] [--^skipchangedcheck] [--^silent] [--^verbose] [--^xml[=<output_file>]] [--^encoding=<name>] [--^machinereadable [--^startlineseparator=<sep>] [--^endlineseparator=<sep>] [--^fieldseparator=<sep>]] [--^forcedetailedprogress] [--^noinput] item_path Path to update. Use . to apply update to current directory. If no path is specified, then the current workspace is fully updated. --^last Changes the workspace selector from a changeset configuration or a label configuration to a branch configuration before updating. The selector is changed to the branch the changeset or label belongs to. Options: --^changeset Updates the workspace to a specific changeset. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about changeset specs.) --^cloaked Includes the cloaked items in the update operation. If this option is not specified, those items that are cloaked will be ignored in the operation. --^dontmerge In case an update merge is required during the update operation, does not perform it. --^forced Forces updating items to the revision specified in the selector. --^ignorechanges Ignores the pending changes warning message that is shown if there are pending changes detected when updating the workspace. --^noinput Skips the interactive questions to continue the operation with pending changes or to shelve them. --^override Overrides changed files outside Unity VCS control. Their content will be overwritten with the server content. --^recursewk Updates all the workspaces found within the current path. Useful to update all the workspaces contained in a specific path. --^skipchangedcheck Checks if there are local changes in your workspace before starting. If you always checkout before modifying a file, you can use this check and speed up the operation. --^silent No output is shown unless an error happens. --^verbose Shows additional information. --^xml Prints the output in XML format to the standard output. It is possible to specify an output file. --^encoding Used with the --^xml option, specifies the encoding to use in the XML output, i.e.: utf-8. See the MSDN documentation at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.text.encoding.aspx to get the table of supported encodings and its format, (at the end of the page, in the "Name" column). --^machinereadable Outputs the result in an easy-to-parse format. --^startlineseparator Used with the '--^machinereadable' flag, specifies how the lines should start. --^endlineseparator Used with the '--^machinereadable' flag, specifies how the lines should end. --^fieldseparator Used with the '--^machinereadable' flag, specifies how the fields should be separated. --^forcedetailedprogress Forces detailed progress even when standard output is redirected. == CMD_HELP_UPDATE == Remarks: The '^update' command only downloads needed files. The command assumes recursive operation. When the '--^last' option is used, it is not necessary to specify a path. In this case, the workspace the current working directory belongs to will be updated. (Remember that specifying this flag could cause the workspace selector to be changed to a branch configuration if the selector was previously pointing to a changeset or a label.) Examples: cm ^update (Updates all in the current workspace.) cm ^update . (Updates current directory, and all children items.) cm ^update . --^forced --^verbose (Forces retrieval of all revisions.) cm ^update --^last cm ^update . --^machinereadable --^startlineseparator=">" (Updates current directory and prints the result in a simplified easier-to-parse format, starting the lines with the specified strings.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_VERSION == Shows the current client version number. == CMD_USAGE_VERSION == Usage: cm ^version == CMD_HELP_VERSION == == CMD_DESCRIPTION_WHOAMI == Shows the current Unity VCS user. == CMD_USAGE_WHOAMI == Usage: cm ^whoami == CMD_HELP_WHOAMI == Shows the current Unity VCS user. == CMD_DESCRIPTION_WORKSPACE == Allows the user to manage workspaces. == CMD_USAGE_WORKSPACE == Usage: cm ^workspace | ^wk <command> [options] Commands: ^list | ^ls ^create | ^mk ^delete | ^rm ^move | ^mv ^rename To get more information about each command run: cm ^workspace <command> --^usage cm ^workspace <command> --^help == CMD_HELP_WORKSPACE == Examples: cm ^workspace ^create myWorkspace wk_path cm ^workspace ^list cm ^workspace ^delete myWorkspace == CMD_DESCRIPTION_WORKSPACE_CREATE == Creates a new workspace. == CMD_USAGE_WORKSPACE_CREATE == 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.) 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'. Options: --^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.) == CMD_HELP_WORKSPACE_CREATE == 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.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_WORKSPACE_DELETE == Deletes a workspace. == CMD_USAGE_WORKSPACE_DELETE == Usage: cm ^workspace | ^wk ^delete | ^rm [<wk_path> | <wkspec>] [--^keepmetadata] wk_path Path of the workspace to be deleted. wkspec Specification of the workspace to delete. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about specs.) Options: --^keepmetadata Does not delete the metadata files in the .plastic folder. == CMD_HELP_WORKSPACE_DELETE == Remarks: This command deletes a workspace, specified by path or spec. If no arguments are specified, current workspace will be assumed. Examples: cm ^workspace ^delete (Removes current workspace.) cm ^wk ^delete c:\workspace cm ^workspace rm /home/danipen/wks cm ^wk ^rm ^wk:MiWorkspace cm ^wk ^rm ^wk:MiWorkspace@DIGITALIS == CMD_DESCRIPTION_WORKSPACE_LIST == Lists workspaces. == CMD_USAGE_WORKSPACE_LIST == Usage: cm ^workspace | ^wk [^list | ^ls] [--^format=<str_format>] Options: --^format Retrieves the output message in a specific format. See Remarks for more info. == CMD_HELP_WORKSPACE_LIST == Remarks: Output format parameters (--^format option): This command accepts a format string to show the output. The output parameters of this command are the following: {0} | {^wkname} Workspace name. {1} | {^machine} Client machine name. {2} | {^path} Workspace path. {3} | {^wkid} Workspace unique identifier. {4} | {^wkspec} Workspace specification using the format: 'wkname@machine'. {^tab} Inserts a tab space. {^newline} Inserts a new line. Examples: cm ^wk (Lists all workspaces.) cm ^workspace ^list --^format={0}#{3,40} cm ^workspace ^list --^format={^wkname}#{^wkid,40} (Lists all workspaces and shows the workspace name, a # symbol and the workspace GUID field in 40 spaces, aligned to left.) cm ^wk --^format="Workspace {0} in path {2}" cm ^wk --^format="Workspace {^wkname} in path {^path}" (Lists all workspaces and shows result as formatted strings.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_WORKSPACE_MOVE == Moves a workspace. == CMD_USAGE_WORKSPACE_MOVE == Usage: cm ^workspace | ^wk ^move | ^mv [<wkspec>] <new_path> Options: wkspec Specification of the workspace to move. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about specs.) new_path Workspace will be moved to here. == CMD_HELP_WORKSPACE_MOVE == Remarks: This command allows users to move a workspace to another location on disk. Examples: cm ^workspace ^move myWorkspace \new\workspaceDirectory (Moves 'myWorkspace' to the specified location.) cm ^wk ^mv c:\users\maria\wkspaces\newlocation (Moves the current workspace to the new location.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_WORKSPACE_RENAME == Renames a workspace. == CMD_USAGE_WORKSPACE_RENAME == Usage: cm ^workspace | ^wk ^rename [<wk_name>] <new_name> wk_name Workspace to rename. new_name New name for the workspace. == CMD_HELP_WORKSPACE_RENAME == Remarks: This command renames a workspace. If no workspace name is supplied, the current workspace will be used. Examples: cm ^workspace ^rename mywk1 wk2 (Renames the workspace 'mywk1' to 'wk2'.) cm ^wk ^rename newname (Renames the current workspace to 'newname'.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_WORKSPACESTATUS == Shows changes in the workspace. == CMD_USAGE_WORKSPACESTATUS == Usage: cm ^status [<wk_path>] [--^changelist[=<name>] | --^changelists] [--^cutignored] [ --^header] [ --^noheader] [ --^nomergesinfo] [ --^head] [--^short] [--^symlink] [ --^dirwithchanges] [--^xml[=<output_file>]] [--^encoding=<name>] [ --^wrp | --^wkrootrelativepaths] [--^fullpaths | --^fp] [<legacy_options>] [<search_types>[ ...]] [--^pretty] [--^machinereadable [--^startlineseparator=sep] [--^endlineseparator=sep] [--^fieldseparator=sep]] Options: wk_path Path of the workspace where the search will be performed. --^changelist Shows changes in the selected changelist. --^changelists Shows changes grouped in client changelists. --^cutignored Skips the contents of ignored directories. Requires the '--^ignored' search type. See the Search types section for more information. --^header Only prints the workspace status. --^noheader Only prints the modified item search result. --^nomergesinfo Doesn't print the merge info for changes. --^head Prints the status of the last changeset on the branch. --^short Lists only paths that contains changes. --^symlink Applies the operation to the symlink and not to the target. --^dirwithchanges Shows directories that contain changes inside them (added, moved, removed items inside). --^xml Prints the output in XML format to the standard output. It is possible to specify an output file. --^pretty Prints workspace changes in a nice table format. --^encoding Used with the --^xml option, specifies the encoding to use in the XML output, i.e.: utf-8. See the MSDN documentation at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.text.encoding.aspx to get the table of supported encodings and its format, (at the end of the page, in the "Name" column). --^wrp Print workspace root relative paths instead of current directory relative paths. --^fullpaths, --^fp Force printing absolute paths, overriding any other path printing setting. --^machinereadable Outputs the result in an easy-to-parse format. --^startlineseparator Used with the '--^machinereadable' flag, specifies how the lines should start. --^endlineseparator Used with the '--^machinereadable' flag, specifies how the lines should end. --^fieldseparator Used with the '--^machinereadable' flag, specifies how the fields should be separated. --^iscochanged Shows whether contents of a checked-out file have changed or not. This flag is only available with "--^compact", "--^xml" and "--^machinereadable" options. If this flag is not set, the "--^compact", "--^xml" or "--^machinereadable" options will show just "^CO" status for a checked-out file with its contents changed. If this flag is set, the "--^compact", "--^xml" or "--^machinereadable" options will show "^CO+CH" status for a checked-out file with its contents changed. Legacy options: --^cset Prints the workspace status in the legacy format. --^compact Prints the workspace status and changelists in the legacy format. --^noheaders When used in conjunction with the '--^compact' flag, the changelist headers will not be printed. (Does not apply to the new changelists format.) Search types: --^added Prints added items. --^checkout Prints checkedout items. --^changed Prints changed items. --^copied Prints copied items. --^replaced Prints replaced items. --^deleted Prints deleted items. --^localdeleted Prints locally deleted items. --^moved Prints moved items. --^localmoved Prints locally moved items. --^percentofsimilarity=<value> Percent of similarity between two files in order to consider them the same item.

By default, any text file will be processed. --^binanyext Any binary file will be taken into account by the similarity content matching process during the moved items search. By default, only those binary files that have the same extension will be processed. --^private Prints non controlled items. --^ignored Prints ignored items. --^hiddenchanged Prints hidden changed items. (Includes '--^changed') --^cloaked Prints cloaked items. --^controlledchanged This flag substitutes the following options: '--^added', '--^checkout', '--^copied', '--^replaced', '--^deleted', '--^moved'. --^all This flag replaces the following parameters: '--^controlledchanged', '--^changed', '--^localdeleted', '--^localmoved', '--^private'. == CMD_HELP_WORKSPACESTATUS == Remarks: The '^status' command prints the loaded changeset on a workspace and gets the changed elements inside the workspace. This command can be used to show the pending changes in a workspace; the type of changes that can be searched can be modified by using the command parameters. By default, all changes are displayed, be they controlled or local. The percent of similarity parameter '--^percentofsimilarity' (-^p) is used by the locally moved search to decide if two elements are the same item. The default value is 20% but it can be adjusted. It is possible to show workspace changes grouped by client changelists. The '^default' changelist includes the changes that are not included in other changelists. That being said, the changes the default changelist will show depends on the search types flags specified. Showing changes grouped by changelists requires showing controlled changes too (items with status equal to '^added', '^checkout', '^copied', '^replaced', '^deleted', or '^moved'). So, the '--^controlledchanged' option will be automatically enabled when changelists are shown. The default encoding for XML output is utf-8. By default, this command will print current directory relative paths, unless the '--^machinereadable' or '--^short' flags are specified. If any of them are specified, the command will print absolute paths. If '--^xml' flag is specified, workspace root relative paths will be printed (unless the '--^fp' flag is also specified, printing absolute paths instead). Examples: cm ^status (Prints the working changeset and also all item types changed in the workspace, except the ignored ones.) cm ^status --^controlledchanged (Prints the working changeset and also the items that are checkedout, added, copied, replaced, deleted, and moved.) cm ^status --^added (Prints only the working changeset and the added items inside the workspace.) cm ^status c:\workspaceLocation\code\client --^added (Prints the working changeset and the added items under the specified path recursively.) cm ^status --^changelists cm ^status --^changelist (Shows all the workspace changes grouped by client changelists.) cm ^status --^changelist=pending_to_review (Shows the changes on the changelist named 'pending_to_review'.) cm ^status --^changelist=default --^private (Shows the changes in the 'default' changelist, showing private items, along with items with controlled changes, if any.) cm ^status --^short --^changelist=pending_to_review | cm ^checkin - (Checkins the changes in the changelist 'pending_to_review'.) cm ^status C:\workspaceLocation --^xml=output.xml (Gets the status information in XML format and using utf-8 in the file output.xml.) cm ^status --^ignored (Shows all ignored items.)

This determines what version and branch is loaded in the workspace for the linked repository. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about changeset specs.) lbspec The full label specification in the remote repository. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about label specs.) brspec The full branch specification in the remote repository. This uses the current changeset where the specified branch is pointing to. (Use 'cm ^help ^objectspec' to learn more about branch specs.) -^e Edits an existing Xlink to change the target changeset specification. -^s | --^show Shows information about the selected Xlink. -^ar | --^addrules Adds one or more expansion rules to the selected Xlink. -^dr | --^deleterules Deletes one or more expansion rules from the selected Xlink. expansion_rules To specify one or more expansion rule. Each expansion rule is a pair branch-target branch: ^br:/main/fix-^br:/main/develop/fix Options: -^w Indicates that the Xlink is writable. This means that the contents of the target repository can be modified through branch autoexpansion. -^rs Relative server. This option allows creating a relative Xlink that is independent of the repository server. This way, Xlinks created in replicated repositories in different servers will be automatically identified. == CMD_HELP_XLINK == Remarks: This command creates an Xlink to a given changeset. By default, a read-only Xlink is created. This means that the contents loaded in the workspace inside the Xlink cannot be modified. To be able to make changes in the Xlinked content, create a writable Xlink instead (using the '-^w' option). It is possible to use a simplified syntax of the command when editing the target changeset of an Xlink. This way, the only required parameter is the new target changeset. The rest of parameters of the Xlink will not be modified. Branch auto-expansion: When a change is made in any writable-xlinked repositories ('-^w' option), a new branch needs to be created in the target repository. The name of the new branch is based on the checkout branch defined in the top-level repository. To determine the name of the branch to use, these rules apply: 1) A check is made to see if a branch with the same full name exists in the target repository: - If it exists, this is used as the checkout branch. - If it does not exist, the branch name is built this way: - Name of the branch of the target Xlinked changeset + short name of the checkout branch (last part). - If this branch exists, it is used as the checkout branch. - Otherwise, the branch is created and the branch base is set to the Xlinked changeset. 2) A new version of the Xlink is created in the branch on the parent repository pointing to the new changeset in the Xlinked repository. Finally, the complete Xlink structure is kept up to date with the latest changes in the right versions. Examples: cm ^xlink code\firstrepo / 1@first@localhost:8084 (Creates an Xlink in folder 'firstrepo' in the current workspace where the changeset '1' in the repository 'first' will be mounted.) cm ^xlink opengl\include /includes/opengl 1627@includes@localhost:8087 (Creates a readonly partial Xlink in directory 'opengl\include' in the current workspace where the path '/includes/opengl' in changeset '1627' in the repository 'includes' will be mounted as root. It means that whatever is inside '/includes/opengl' will be mounted in 'opengl\include' while the rest of the repository will be ignored.) cm ^xlink -^w -^rs code\secondrepo / ^lb:LB001@second@localhost:8084 (Creates a writable and relative Xlink in folder 'secondrepo' in the current workspace where the label 'LB001' in the repository 'second' will be mounted.) cm ^xlink code\thirdrepo / 3@third@localhost:8087 ^br:/main-^br:/main/scm003 (Creates an Xlink in folder 'thirdrepo' in the current workspace where the changeset '3' in the repository 'third' will be mounted.) cm ^xlink -^e code\secondrepo ^br:/main/task1234@second@localhost:8084 (Edits the Xlink 'code\secondrepo' to change the target repository by linking the branch 'main/task1234' in the repository 'second'.) cm ^xlink --^show code\thirdrepo (Shows information of the Xlink 'code\thirdrepo' including its expansion rules if exist). cm ^xlink -^ar code\secondrepo ^br:/main-^br:/main/develop ^br:/main/fix-^br:/main/develop/fix (Adds two expansion rules to the xlink 'code\secondrepo'.) cm ^xlink -^dr code\secondrepo ^br:/main/fix-^br:/main/develop/fix (Deletes the expansion rule from the xlink 'code\secondrepo'). == CMD_DESCRIPTION_AUTOCOMPLETE == Allows to implement autocomplete suggestions in a line at the cursor position. == CMD_USAGE_AUTOCOMPLETE == Usage: cm ^autocomplete ^install (Installs 'cm' command completion in the shell.) cm ^autocomplete ^uninstall (Uninstalls 'cm' command completion from the shell.) cm ^autocomplete --^line <shell_line> --^position <cursor_position> (Returns autocomplete suggestions for 'shell_line' to be inserted at 'cursor_position'.) shell_line The line the user has written into the shell when the autocompletion was requested. In Bash, it is at the COMP_LINE environment variable. In PowerShell, it is at the $wordToComplete variable. cursor_position The position of the cursor when the autocompletion was requested. In Bash, it is at the COMP_POINT environment variable. In PowerShell, it is at the $cursorPosition variable. == CMD_HELP_AUTOCOMPLETE == Remarks: This command is not intended to be used by the final user, but it is documented in case it is needed to extend autocompletion support for the shell of choice. Examples: cm ^autocomplete --^line "cm ^show" --^position 7 (Shows a list of commands starting with "show". In this case: showcommands, showfindobjects, showacl, showowner, showpermissions, showselector.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_API == Starts a local HTTP server that listens for REST API requests. == CMD_USAGE_API == Usage: cm ^api [(-^p|--^port)=<portnumber>] [(-^r|--^remote)] Options: -^p | --^port Tells the server to listen on port <portnumber> instead of 9090. -^r | --^remote Allows incoming remote connections. This means connections that come from other hosts instead of the local one. == CMD_HELP_API == Remarks: The cm ^api command allows programmers to perform Unity VCS client operations in their machines. Read the Unity VCS API Guide for more information: https://www.plasticscm.com/documentation/restapi/plastic-scm-version-control-rest-api-guide By default, the API listens for local connections only, on port 9090. Press the Enter key to stop the server. Examples: cm ^api (Starts the API listening on port 9090, local connections only.) cm ^api -^r (Starts the API listening on port 9090, allowing any incoming connection.) cm ^api --^port=15000 -^r (Starts the API listening on port 15000, allowing any incoming connection.) == CMD_DESCRIPTION_CONFIGURECLIENT == Configures the Unity VCS client for the current machine user to work with a default server. == CMD_USAGE_CONFIGURECLIENT == Usage: cm ^configure [--^language=<language> --^workingmode=<mode> [AuthParameters] --^server=<server> [--^port=<port>]] [--^clientconf=<clientconfpath>] --^language Available languages: en (English) es (Spanish) --^workingmode Available users/security working modes: NameWorkingMode (Name) NameIDWorkingMode (Name + ID) LDAPWorkingMode (LDAP) ADWorkingMode (Active Directory) UPWorkingMode (User and password) SSOWorkingMode (Single Sign On) AuthParameters Auth parameters (only for ^LDAPWorkingMode and ^UPWorkingMode): --^user=<user> --^password=<password> Single Sign On parameters (only for ^SSOWorkingMode): --^user=<user> --^token=<token> --^server Unity VCS server IP / address --^port Unity VCS server port (port optional for Cloud servers) --^clientconf File path used to create the configuration file (optional) Argument can be a full path, a filename or a directory. If this parameter is not specified, the default directory for 'client.conf' file would be: * '%LocalAppData%\plastic4' on Windows * '$HOME/.plastic4' on linux/macOS Examples: --^clientconf=c:/path/to/myclient.conf (Specified path will be used to create the client configuration file) --^clientconf=myclient.conf (File myclient.conf inside default config directory will be used) --^clientconf=c:/exisitingDirectory (Default filename, client.conf, in specified directory will be used) == CMD_HELP_CONFIGURECLIENT == Remarks: The cm ^configure command cannot be used on Cloud Edition or DVCS Edition of Unity VCS. Use 'plastic --configure' instead. Examples: cm ^configure (runs the interactive Unity VCS client configuration command) cm ^configure --^language=^en --^workingmode=^LDAPWorkingMode --^user=^jack --^password=^01234 \ --^server=^plastic.mymachine.com --^port=^8084 (configures the Unity VCS client with the specified parameters and creates the 'client.conf' configuration file in the default directory). cm ^configure --^language=^en --^workingmode=^NameWorkingMode --^server=^plastic.mymachine.com \ --^port=^8084 --^clientconf=^clientconf_exp.conf (configures the Unity VCS client with the specified parameters and creates the 'client.conf' configuration file in the specified path).
