Project Manager

A package for saving your projects for fast and easy access.

Installation

apm install project-manager

or find it in the Packages tab under settings

Usage

All commands can also be found in the Packages menu

List projects

ctrl-cmd-p (mac) / alt-shift-P (win & linux) or Project Manager in the Command Palette.

You can filter result by title, group and template. group: atom would list all projects with the group atom. Default is title

Save project

Project Manager: Save Project in the Command Palette and write the title you want to save the project as.

Edit projects

All projects are saved in a .cson file which you can easily reach by searching for Project Manager: Edit Projects in the Command Palette.

Project Settings

settings:

Under settings you can set everything that you can have in the config.cson file which is what you see under the settings view. The formatting should be as follows:

'settings':
  'editor.tabLength': 2
  'project-manager.showPath': true

The settings will be updated on change, but can also manually be done from the command palette with Project Manager: Reload Project Settings

devMode:

Will open the project in dev mode. The API for this doesn't work perfectly though so if you try to switch to a project that is already open in dev mode, a new window will open.

icon:

This changes the icon displayed next to the project title in the list view. The icon is class-based, so you can either use the classes already provided by Atom like icon-squirrel or make your own class (target :before). The GitHub octicons font is available to use, and most, if not all classes, just replace octicon- with icon-.

template:

You can specify a template in the projects.cson file to share settings between projects. The settings will merge so you can still specify project specific settings.

group:

You can specify a group that the project belongs to and then sort the projects list after group.

Example

'Project Manager':
  'title': 'Project Manager'
