h2. Adding Files to Perforce

It's not very obvious how to add files to Perforce. If you have set up things up the "simple" way, the Perforce Depot is a simple mapping to your local drive at c:\perforce, i.e. \depot\... = c:\perforce\... (you can create custom mappings, if you want/need to, just ask Greg)

h2. Step 1

Let's say I want to add a new GSE Perl script, newTest.pl, to the Perforce depot. The normal location in the Depot would be \depot\EMIRS\software\GSE\perl\. So I place the file in the my local drive at C:\perforce\EMIRS\software\GSE\perl\.

Then bring up Perforce and select the workspace tab view:

h2. Step 2

newTest.pl should be visible in the workspace view. (You may need to hit the refresh icon in the upper left of the Perforce window, if you just added the file)
