Alright, I can dig it. However, after creating a Local Project, where does it save those files? When the dialog box for creation pops up and you give it a path, it fetches from the server and pre-populates the 'default' branch from the server. Nothing in the UI changes to show you that you are in a local working branch, not the server default. I think that this is what was confusing to me.

I was working in a local branch from poking around in the IDE, closed the files (without synching as I didn't realize that I was local), and now cannot find them anywhere.

I cannot find any of the work in the documents directory I thought I was locally working in, nor is anything written in the ~/.atom/packages/screeps-ide/.branches tree.

It's a great alpha to a cool IDE approach to things. Excited to see it develop.

Artch,

Can you give some clarity/how-to on Branches and how the files are synched? I am toying around with the IDE and have branches of 'Default, Tutorial-1...Tutorial-5'. The 'WORLD' and 'SIM' links go blue when clicked, but won't go back to grey so it is not clear what they are doing.

It doesn't seem that the files that I am editing in the IDE are being synched to the server, is the root of the question here.

Saving locally in the 'default' branch doesn't seem to affect the screeps server, even with the proper Shard selected in the console. Console commands take effect on the server, as expected.

It seems that the link between IDE and world breaks at some point.
