p4: Copy files from depot into the client workspace.

$ p4 sync

try on your machine

The "p4 sync" command is used in Perforce, a version control system, to update the local copies of files in your workspace to match the latest revisions in the depot.

When you run "p4 sync", Perforce compares the state of the files in your workspace with the corresponding files in the depot. It then identifies any differences and updates your local copies accordingly. This ensures that your workspace contains the most recent versions of the files.

Additionally, "p4 sync" also downloads any new files that have been added to the depot since your last sync, and it removes any files from your workspace that have been deleted from the depot.

The command operates recursively by default, meaning it synchronizes all files and directories within your workspace. However, you can specify specific files or directories to sync if needed.

Overall, "p4 sync" is a useful command to ensure that your local workspace is up to date with the latest changes made by other users in the depot.
