[p4] How to create stream from CLI without having to open editor?

[Michael Mirman]

Remember, if you set P4EDITOR to /bin/true, the editor won’t open.
You can even avoid piping -o | -i with that. You just have to make sure you provide all necessary arguments for the stream spec. For example,
env P4EDITOR=/bin/true p4 stream -P <current-stream> -t task <new-stream>

Posted on behalf of forum user 'mcru'.

I'm trying to create a p4 stream from the CLI w/o having to open the editor,
and none of the normal tricks are working for me. For example, if this was a
client spec, I can use the -o flag to pipe the contents of an existing client to
p4 client -i.

My goal here is to alias 'p4 stream -P <current stream> -t task
<generated dev task branch name>' that doesn't require editing the
stream spec file at all.

Thanks!
