Create a stream depot

Create a stream depot in which the stream you create in the next step will reside.

1. At the command line, run the p4 depot command:

   p4 depot -t stream JamCode

   The -t option specifies the type of depot to create, in this case a stream depot. JamCode is the name of the depot you’re creating.

2. Notice that the depot specification opens in your text editor:

   Copy

   # A Perforce Depot Specification.
   #
   #  Depot:       The name of the depot.
   #  Owner:       The user who created this depot.
   #  Date:        The date this specification was last modified.
   #  Description: A short description of the depot (optional).
   #  Type:        Whether the depot is 'local', 'remote',
   #               'stream', 'spec', 'archive', 'tangent',
   #               or 'unload'.  Default is 'local'.
   #  Address:     Connection address (remote depots only).
   #  Suffix:      Suffix for all saved specs (spec depot only).
   #  StreamDepth: Depth for streams in this depot (stream depots only).
   #  Map:         Path translation information (must have ... in it).
   #  SpecMap:     For spec depot, which specs should be recorded (optional).
   #
   # Use 'p4 help depot' to see more about depot forms.
