At the command prompt make sure you're at the root of the client repo. 

<syntaxhighlight lang="powershell">
p4 -H beckster -p 1666 -u ali -c web-damien sync
</syntaxhighlight>

* `-H` Host
* `-p` Port (1666 is the default)
* `-u` User
* `-c` client

== Perforce configuration files ==

* [http://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.current/manuals/p4guide/chapter.configuration.html#DB5-24024 Configuring Perforce Settings] (Perforce Documentation)

* Set the `P4CONFIG` environment variable to the name of the local configuration file, e.g. ".p4config".
* Create the `".p4config"` file in the local repo.
* Each setting in the file must be specified on its own line, using the format `setting=value`.

Example:
<syntaxhighlight lang="text">
P4PORT=tcp:beckster:1666
P4USER=ali
P4CLIENT=web-damien
</syntaxhighlight>
