Creating a New Project

Prerequisite: To create a new project on a server, you must be a DiveLine administrator.

Starting a New Project

  1. Open the New Project dialog box by using one of the following methods:

    • Click File > New > New Project
    • In the File > Open Project dialog box, at the lower left, click Create New Project

    • In the Tools > Server Settings > Projects sub-tab, at the top of the project listing, click Add Project

      The ClosedNew Project wizard displays.

      New Project Dialog Box - empty

  2. Select the type of new project.

    • Select New Project to go through the standard project setup process.
    • Select Clone Project to create a project from an existing Git repository or other source outside of the DiveLine.
    • Select Copy from other Project to create a copy of an existing project on the same DiveLine server. See Copying a Project.

  1. In the Project Root box, edit the path or folder name if you want to use a root other than the default. The Project Root automatically populates using the currently active DiveLine connection projects path and appends that path with the project name.

  2. In the Name box, enter a name for the project.

    NOTE: Project names are ultimately folder names, so any character that is forbidden in folder names is also forbidden in project names. This includes: /, \, *, ?, :, <, >, ", and |.

  3. In the Description box, enter an optional description for this project.

  4. Select whether or not to create default folders. For more information, see Default Folder Structure.

  5. Select whether or not to create an empty README Markdown file.

  6. Click Next.

    The ClosedVersion Control window opens.

  7. Select the Project Use type. This is optional.

  8. Select whether or not to create a remote repository.

  9. If this is the first project you are creating, provide an email address and name as backup values for logging Git commits. These values are used when your user profile in Server Settings does not have a full name or email address.

  10. Click Next.

  11. If Create Remote Repository is selected, the ClosedRemote Repository window opens:

    1. Select a source. If a Repository Central Location is not configured, Remote repository URL is the only available option. For more information about configuring a Central Repository, see Getting Started with Git.

    3. Click Next.

    The ClosedSummary window opens. Review your new project settings.
