Audacity Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 I'm taking Plastic for a spin and it's looking promising. Unfortunately, the PDF "Migrating from Perforce to Plastic SCM" appears to be outdated as there is no "guimporter" tool in the client directory. What is the recommended approach for importing the contents of a Perforce depot into Plastic? I tried to find the relevant documentation, but I failed at that. I see some references to how in Plastic v5 can use a Git fast-import format, but I'm not sure that Perforce can output that format; so I'm wondering what the recommended approach is for importing data from Perforce.

manu Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 Hi @Audacity I recommend you to use the "cm sync" command to import a P4 depot path, and all its history, to a Plastic SCM repository. We call it "p4sync". Please find a complete guide of the Perfoce "cm sync" command here: https://plasticscmsupport.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360023787873-P4-Sync-How-it-works Also, check the link below, it explains the main differences between P4 and Plastic, and why Plastic SCM is better and faster. https://www.plasticscm.com/alternative-to-perforce Best, Manu, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psantosl Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 I should add that, if your project is big, we strongly recommend you to reach us so that we take care of the import. Import is always hard, and the bigger it gets, the harder, so we really prefer to remove this pain from our users 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
