perforce.vim

Vim Perforce integration for the 21st century!

No relation to Tom Slee's or Hari Krishna Dara's plugins.

Installation

Vundle is the recommended way to install vim-perforce. Add this line to your .vimrc:

Bundle 'nfvs/vim-perforce'

Then run :PluginInstall inside Vim.

Usage

By default, when trying to save a read-only file, a prompt to open the file for edit in Perforce is displayed.

Additionally, the following commands are available:

:P4info

Display perforce information.

:P4edit

Start editing the current file (opened in the default changelist).

:P4revert

Revert the current file (a confirmation prompt is displayed).

:P4movetocl

Move the current file to a different changelist.

Settings

The following settings can be set in your .vimrc file:

g:perforce_open_on_change (default: 0)

Prompt to open the file for edit in Perforce when starting to modify a read-only file.

g:perforce_open_on_save (default: 1)

Prompt to open the file for edit in Perforce when trying to write a read-only file (with :w!).

g:perforce_auto_source_dirs (default: [])

Restrict Perforce automatic operations (save/change read-only files) to a limited set of directories. Please note that on Windows backslashes need to be escaped. Example:

let g:perforce_auto_source_dirs = ['C:\\Users\\nfvs\\Perforce']

g:perforce_use_relative_paths (default: 0)

Send relative file paths to Perforce so it can automatically detect which root to use (useful when sharing a Perforce repository between Linux and Windows or when using Cygwin).

g:perforce_use_cygpath (default: 0)

Use the cygpath utility to translate paths from Cygwin to absolute Windows paths. May work in cases where g:perforce_use_relative_paths does not.

g:perforce_prompt_on_open (default: 1)

Whether to prompt the user when a file is open for edit (either on change or on save).
