Perforce: Setting up Ignore lists
You can set up P4 to ignore files and folders using the P4IGNORE environment variable, and a text file in your perforce root called .p4ignore.txt
Here is how you set it up:
An example of the contents of an ignore file. Comments are added using the # sign. |
- Create a file in the root directory of your workspace (eg: C:/Projects/Perforce/) called .p4ignore.txt
- Inside this file, define which file types to ignore. For example:
- The .swatches file, which is generated by Maya.
- The Library folder, generated by Unity.
- Any other folder that contains source file work that should remain local to people's workstations (texture bakes, render data etc).
- Once this file is set up, open the command console (windows key + r then type in cmd) and type in: p4 set P4IGNORE = .p4ignore.txt
Setting the environment variable in a windows environment. |
- Now, Perforce should ignore the file types and folders defined in the text document.
- Next time an attempt to add this file is made, a warning should show up, and the files will not be added to your changelist.
