This is a strong interview-prep post because Perforce (Helix Core) questions usually reveal whether a candidate understands why it’s used in large-scale teams—especially where performance, monorepos, and large binaries matter (games, media, semiconductor, enterprise codebases). The most valuable parts are the practical workflow concepts: changelists, client/workspace mapping, branching with streams, merge strategies, file locking vs parallel edits, and how typemaps and permissions keep repositories efficient and controlled. It’s even more useful when readers use these Q&As to prepare “real scenario” explanations—like resolving a stream merge conflict, handling huge assets, enforcing submit rules with triggers, or integrating Perforce with CI—because that’s what demonstrates production-ready understanding, not just definitions.
