vlt-atom

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

Installation

Install Atom.
Install package

apm install vlt-atom

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.
