Teach You Version Control With Perforce











About:

Why Learn Perforce?

Perforce is used heavily in both games and virtual production studios. It is one of the foundational tools you need to learn if you want to work on a team.



What is Version Control?

Version control tracks changes to files over time. You've probably created a version control system without even realizing it. Do you have files on your computer with names like this?



  • Drawing_copy_2.psd
  • Drawing_v3.psd
  • Drawing_Feb14_2022.psd
  • Drawing_LATEST.psd
  • Drawing_backup4.psd



This is a primitive form of version control. It is disorganized and prone to data loss. If you find yourself doing this consider using a version control system (VCS) like Perforce.

Some of the topics covered (time permitting) include:

  • Depots
