Updating the remote application

After the first deployment, you can update your remote application by clicking on the Cloud button or the Publish menu item. If you want to be able to choose the files to publish to the remote application, disable the Auto-Commit option.

Wakanda Cloud credentials

To edit your Wakanda Cloud credentials just type the new values in the corresponding fields. It is also possible to completely remove your existing credentials by emptying both the login and password fields.

To save your modifications click on Save.

Remote Git Repository

You can configure the default target remote application for each Wakanda Solution by typing in the URL in the git field. This will avoid you having to select a target remote application each time you perform a publish operation.

To save your modifications click on Save.

Once configured, the remote application will be linked to your local one. To unlink it, simply click on the Unlink button in the settings dialog.

Auto-commit

When enabled, this feature allows the studio to publish all the local modifications to the remote application automatically.

If, otherwise, the auto-commit checkbox is disabled, you will be asked to choose the files to be published to the remote application whenever you click on the Cloud button or the Publish menu item.
