What is the primary benefit of Perforce shelving?

Shelving allows you to store your pending changes on the Perforce server without submitting them as a permanent revision, making your work-in-progress accessible from other workspaces.

How do I resolve conflicts when unshelving?

The skill provides commands to preview conflicts and perform auto-merges or forced overwrites during the unshelving process.

How does this skill assist with code reviews?

It automates shelving changes and managing the metadata required for reviewers to inspect your code, including supporting Swarm-based review triggers.

Does shelving create a permanent file revision?

No, shelved changes are stored in a temporary state on the server and do not affect the depot history until the changelist is officially submitted.

Can I unshelve changes into a different stream?

Yes, the skill supports unshelving across different streams and workspaces, including handling the necessary file mappings.
