# same\_as\_p4\_reconcile.py

This is a Python 3 script that's nearly the same as simply running "p4 reconcile".

I'd already started writing it before I realized what a duplication of effort it was. So, of course, I decided to memorialize it here.

To preview how a reconcile would look, issue a command like so:

same_as_p4_reconcile.py -c 48 -n source_dir/ p4_dir/

Of course, issue the command with -h or --help to learn more.

same_as_p4_reconcile.py --help
    usage: same_as_p4_reconcile.py [-h] [-c CHANGELIST] [-n] source_dir p4_dir
    
    Similar to "p4 reconcile"
    
    positional arguments:
      source_dir            The newer directory outside perforce
      p4_dir                The perforce directory to be modified
    
    optional arguments:
      -h, --help            show this help message and exit
      -c CHANGELIST, --changelist CHANGELIST
                            Changelist to use
      -n, --preview         Preview only, don't change any files
