A Studio project is a collection of files that make up a development project. The actual physical location of project files and the types of files included in a project are determined by the needs of the development team. Typically, application code, documentation, media, testing materials, and other supporting files are included.
When you add a Studio project to source control for the first time, you are prompted to choose a source control provider based on the source control applications Studio detects on your system.
See Chapter 20, Using Projects for Site Management for information on building Studio projects.
The working directory is the point of interaction for files in a project. If you create a project from an existing directory, that directory is automatically set as the working directory. You can build a working directory and create a project from it or create a new project first and then build the working directory.
The source control system is the central repository for your files once they are added to it. If you delete files from the working directory, they will not be deleted from source control unless you specifically remove them.
Once you set the working directory for a project, you cannot change it. To change the working directory, you have to create a new project and move your files to that project.
Generally, you can create a working directory on your workstation to develop and test your Web applications. The following configuration is required on your system:
When you get or check files out of source control, they go into that project's working directory on your local machine.
All source control work is done in Studio through the project management tools in the Projects Resource tab. Once you have a source control system installed and a working directory configured for a Studio project, you can add that project to source control.
When you have added a project to source control, you can add the project files to the source control database.
