First Steps

You’ve installed Atelier, but are unsure of your next steps.

1. Add code base to source control

2. Configure your Atelier workbench and workspace

3. Add code base to your Atelier workspace from source control

4. Get familiar with modern interface

Step 1

Add code base to source control

Does your team already use source control?

Centralized or Distributed

If your team doesn’t use source control, research the best system for your needs.

• Git and Mercurial are popular distributed version control systems

• Subversion and Perforce are popular centralized version control systems

Configure server connections

Any number of servers and

namespaces

Create Server Connections for each web host

and port pair associated with development

Organize code base into projects

Projects should not have thousands of files in them

Determine how to break your code base into logical collections• By package

• By application component

• NOT by namespace

• NOT by database

Atelier will be noticeably less reactive if your projects are too large

• Background processes that scan projects will be significantly delayed

Creating your first projects

You can add your code base to your Atelier workspace multiple ways• Create new Atelier projects for each logical collection of files

• Add files to projects

― Import exported XML files using the import wizard converts file to Source

― Copy selected files from Server Explorer view creates Source file

• Share projects with source control system

Collaborating with others

Once your projects have been added to source control, collaborating

is easy

Import Existing Projects

• Teammates simply need to add projects from source

control using the associated import wizard

Changes are managed by source control

• Each developer is responsible for keeping their

workspace up to date

Step 4

Get familiar with modern interface
