Download a project in Business Application Studio

[Christer]

Is it possible to download a separate project in BAS? I know a complete dev space content can be downloaded, and there I can extract one single project, but is it possible to just download one project within that dev space?

As I track all my relevant projects via a external Git repository I don't see a need for such a functionality.

Ah, great. Thanks for the info.

Hello Christer

Its simple , just right click on the project and click on "Archive Project", you will receive a pop up to download the project as zip.

Archiving is the right way to go. I tried the download function which downloaded the entire project, node modules et al. resulting in a tar-file +100mb.

With the archiving you can export the scripts to your project, resulting in only a couple of 100kb in a zip archive.

This was exactly what I was looking for.

Hi yuvraj123, those options from the context menu are not available for me, any ideas how can I activate them? or if the archiving option can be done via terminal .

Thanks!

Hi kfch ,

I second gregorw that using git based scm should (must) be used as best practice.

having said that, BAS support the functionality of downloading a single project / folder / file. Right-click the project > Download. a tar will with all project content will be downloaded.

Any way we can download in ZIP format?

Tar is a pain to open, you have to go to command line, and you can't visually see the content and pick files to view without having to untar the thing.

Thanks
