Checkout / Close Projects

These two commands are meant for already installed Apex systems where you can no longer include the --project flag during installation, but still need to develop with a project.

Checkout Project

If Apex is already installed and you wish to work on a project using the installation, you may checkout the project by using the project checkout CLI command, such as:

apex project checkout <ALIAS>

apex project checkout jsmith/test-proj

This will download the contents of the project repository, and replace both the existing Apex installation filesystem and database with the contents of the project. You may now begin developing with the project and executing commits as normal.

Close Project

Once you have completed development on a project you may wish to remove it from version control. You may do so by using the project close CLI command, such as:

apex project close

Please note, this will simply remove the version control from the Apex installation directory, and nothing else. This will not revert the filesystem or database to its original state before the project was checked out.
