Create AL-Go Project

In GitHub (AL-Go) you can cluster multiple apps into projects. Projects are just subfolders within your repository with one or many AL app directories. All apps within a project are usually shipped together. When creating a new repository and app the AL app folders by default are within the root of a repository. This is called a single-project repository.

Note

Apps of different projects in the same repository can be dependent on each other as documented in this AL-Go Dependencies Workshop.

In the Alpaca VSC extension the projects are listed underneath the repository:

Single-project repositories only have one project listed there that by default has the same name as the repository.

You can create a new project by clicking the + button on the Projects level. However, a popup will appear with the message: "You need to create at least one app to create a new project. Please follow the wizard to create the app."

This means you must first create an app and specify a new project name that doesn't exist yet. When creating a new app from within a project, that project will automatically be preselected.
