Basic Commands

The Command-Line Client provides a few basic commands which are unrelated to uploading files to the Collaborator Server:

•	help - Display help on using the Command-Line Client

•	login - Verify and/or change connection to the Collaborator Server

•	info - Validates server connection and SCM configuration

•	set - Save a global option setting

Upload Commands

The primary function of the Command-Line Client is to upload review materials (files) to the Collaborator Server.

The recommended commands to use vary by Version Control System:

•	AccuRev Commands

•	ClearCase Commands

•	CVS Commands

•	Git Commands

•	Mercurial Integration

•	PTC Integrity Commands

•	Perforce Commands

•	Rational Synergy Commands

•	Subversion Commands

•	Team Foundation Commands

In addition to the Version Control specific commands, the Command-Line Client provides a few basic upload commands that work for any (or no) Version Control system:

•	addfiles - Upload local files without diffs

•	addchanges - Uploads locally modified files controlled by an SCM

•	adddiffs - Upload local or arbitrary diffs (see Uploading Diffs)

•	addsimulinkarchives - Uploads Simulink model archive (see Reviewing Simulink Models)

Upload commands that deal with files managed by Version Control systems should be called from any sub-folder within the working copy of your repository (the place on your local machine where files from an SCM system are checked-out). Otherwise, the commands may fail to detect the SCM configuration.

Scripting Commands

The Command-Line Client also includes many commands meant for constructing custom scripts, usually used for integrating with external systems or implementing custom behaviors. For more information see Scripting.
