IDEasy allows you to create any number of independent software development projects on your computer as isolated sandbox.
In order to create a new project, all you need to do is run the following command:
ide create «new-project-name»This will create a new project named «new-project-name» in your ${IDE_ROOT} folder so you should use a reasonable project name as argument (instead of «new-project-name»).
Please only use Latin letters, Arabic digits (0-9), hyphens (-), or underscores (_) for your project name and strictly avoid special characters like whitespaces.
During the project creation you will be asked for the URL of the git repository for the settings.

Note
|
You may just hit return here to use the default settings. However, this is only for demo purposes. A real project needs its own dedicated settings repository to share changes to the settings with the team. The most basic but fundamental mistake developers do with IDEasy is to use the default settings for a real world project. So carefully read the instructions from your project and have a look for the appropriate settings URL. |
In order to prevent the question, you may also add the settings URL as additional argument to the ide create command.
If you really want to create a demo project without being asked for the settings URL you may also use - as settings URL to prevent repeating the default:
ide create «new-project-name» -If someone in your team has pushed changes to your settings repository, IDEasy will notify you. You can then pull and apply these changes to your project using the following command:
ide updateIf you want to test some suggested changes to your settings repository before rolling it out to the (large) team, you can use feature branches.
In order to create a new project directly from such branch, you can specify the branch-name after appending a '#' sign to the repository URL.
For testing purposes it may be handy that we also provide the --skip-repositories option.
In case you have large repositories configured, this option omits their cloning when testing a configuration change:
ide create «new-project-name» --skip-repositories «settings-git-url»#«branch-name»
