The package is to help you with the initial setup of your Umbraco Cloud project locally

After you create your Umbraco Cloud project at https://umbraco.io/, You might want to get the code base ready for development. This package helps you do the initial clone of your project, and also runs through a CLI wizard to help you setup your project locally. Remember to push your local changes back to the Cloud via git, otherwise the changes will not be stored in the cloud.

Installing the Template & getting started

To install the umbracocloud template, do the following:

1. Run the following command in a terminal:

   dotnet new --install umbracocloud
   

2. SQL Server setup for local development:

• Umbraco Cloud requires that each developer has their own local database.
• Using the container registry Docker is the recommended local setup, as it will ensure that your Umbraco Cloud developers can work on any platform of their choice.
• Remember that the connection string is stored in the git repository, so you need to ensure that each developer configures their local database to have the same credentials.

3. Then run the following command providing the umbraco cloud repository git url that you received from the Umbraco Cloud portal for your project:

   dotnet new umbracocloud --git <your-umbracocloud-v9-git-url.git>
   

4. Follow the instructions in the terminal to choose another namespace for your project and to set your developer connection string.

If you do not want to use the above package and instead wish to do it manually here are the steps:

•   git clone <your-umbracocloud-v9-git-url.git>
  

• Follow the instructions in the ReadMe.md file that is included in your Umbraco Cloud repository.

Visual Studio Setup for Umbraco Cloud Version 9 compared to Version 8 and below

The big difference with using Umbraco Cloud for version 9 and above are as follows:

• You no longer need your own git hosting service like github, gitlab, bitbucket or whatever cloud service you use to store your code, but if you still want to use one of these services you could use them as long as they are mirror repositories of the Umbraco Cloud repository. https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/repository/mirror/
• The git url you get from https://umbraco.io/ can now store your entire source code, and it is preconfigured to a build pipeline, which means no more storing of dll files in git. You will still need to build your frontend artifacts and push that over.
• Umbraco cloud now comes with a csproj file, which means you can get started with Visual Studio out of the box. There are no special scripts needed to setup your cloud project for Visual Studio.
• Also your project comes with a default ReadMe.md file that has all the information you need to get started, so remember to read it for more details
