How To Use Orion Projects
Projects are top-level folders that are capable of containing extra metadata. Project metadata is kept in project.json file located in project root. project.json file can be shared via scm and then project metadata will also be shared.
How To Create Project
Every top-level folder can be converted info project using action in editor:
If you want to create a new project use [+] -> New Project menu and choose the project type you would like to create. In standard Orion you can create empty projects, projects based on Zip file and import projects from Git repository.
Project Associated Content
Project may have external dependencies called Associated Content. Associated content will be presented on the project view, so that user has access to it in the context of the project. Associated content descriptions do not contain workspace- or user-specific information, so it can be shared. Sharing project.json via scm will allow other users to recreate the project dependencies structure based on the associated content information.
Associated content may be added on the project view using [+] menu.
