Perforce configuration files

• 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:

P4PORT=tcp:beckster:1666
P4USER=ali
P4CLIENT=web-damien
