Use a git client like source tree or git kraken to clone
your uaas workspace, use the git url below
{{vm.environment.configured[0].git}}
This will pull down all your website files to your local machine, you can now make local changes
and push them back to umbraco as a service when they are ready to go live, using nothing but a standard git client
For developers who use Visual Studio and Umbraco with code from external projects,
we offer a setup script which will create and configure a complete Visual Studio solution.
The solution will use the git repostiory from Umbraco as a Service making deployments as simple
as pushing the changes from your local solution to the remote Umbraco as a Service environment.
Umbraco as a service provides a fast way to syncronise design changes, directly from your local machine, it works by
running a node.js command, which will connect to your remote website and start syncing file changes.
For a fast view on how your changes will be applied, a local browser window will show changes as they sync
