vlt-atom

Atom Package to sync AEM project working copy with crx repository.

Installation

1. Install Atom.
2. Install package

apm install vlt-atom

3. Add JAVA_HOME in your environment variables (if not present).

Settings

• AEM server host: AEM server host or ip address.
• AEM server port: AEM Server port or blank if running on 80.
• Username: AEM admin username.
• Password: AEM admin password to login.
• Vlt Base: Vault directory path in file system. (Use the vault provided with your AEM package, under opt directory.)
• Sync Service: This can be used to enable service that will auto push your changes to crx.

Usage

• Add an AEM project in Atom, right click on any directory under your project (jcr_root) and use Pull From Crx option. This will sync your working copy with AEM instance.
• Once everything is synced, options (Pull From Crx / Push To Crx) can be used to push or pull any file or directory from project panel.
• Add Under VLT option can be used to add any new file or directory under vlt control.
• Status option can be used to check difference between remote crx and local working copy.

Important Notes:

• Update settings.xml file to add files or directories that needs to be ignored by vlt. This file can be created in META_INF/vault or under userhome/.vault directory. Below is an example for setting xml.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<vault version="1.0">
   <ignore name=".svn"/>
   <ignore name=".git"/>
   <ignore name=".DS_Store"/>
   <ignore name=".dir"/>
</vault>

• Make sure to include jcr_root directory while adding an AEM project. This directory should be present in project panel before you start working.
