I wrote a blog post about how to setup a dev environment for Universal. I’ve already got some feedback and will likely be adding some more info\techniques to this post.

Awesome. I’ll keep my eye on this.

I know this is an old post, but I’m actually trying to set up a development environment right now, and the link is no longer valid.

I am setting up a new server and I’m not sure how to approach this, because since configurations like schedules are configured in the schedules.ps1 file, I can’t just make a dev branch of the git repository because that would clone production schedules and their settings to the dev system.

Any suggestions?

Make a dev branch from your main branch and set all schedules to paused in the schedules.ps1

Or add the schedules.ps1 to your .gitignore.

Yeah .gitignore is a great idea. I honestly have never used it, so I didn’t even know that was a feature. I’ll give that a shot and see if that helps
