p4 Command line equivalent of "Get latest revision" operation in p4v gui

Question

To sync only the current folder in the p4v gui client there is a menu operation which can be invoked using "Right Click on the sub Folder" -> "Get Latest Revision" which is bind to "Ctrl + Shift + G".

How to perform the equivalent operation using p4 command line tool ?

Answer 1

Use p4 sync to get the latest revision of a set of files.

If you want to get the latest revision of the files in just a single sub-folder, use p4 sync //depot/path/to/sub/folder/... or p4 sync /path/to/my/workspace/folder/... (These are called "depot syntax", and "local syntax", respectively; there is also "client syntax", as in p4 sync //my-client-name/my/folder/name/...)
