Project Linking

Project linking allows you to associate a local directory with a DPage organization and project. This saves time by avoiding the need to specify IDs for every command.

How it Works

When you link a project, the CLI creates a .dpage/ directory in your current folder with a project.json file. This file contains the organization and project IDs for that directory.

Link a Project

Run the link command in your project's root directory:

Terminal
dpage link

The CLI will guide you through an interactive selection process:

1

Select Organization

Choose from a list of organizations you belong to.
2

Select Project

Choose the specific project you want to link to this directory.
3

Confirmation

The CLI will create the local configuration and update your .gitignore.
The .dpage/ directory is automatically added to your.gitignore. You should not commit this directory to version control, as linking is developer-specific.

Auto-Confirmation

For non-interactive use, you can skip prompts using the --yes flag:

Terminal
dpage link --yes

Unlinking

To remove the association between a directory and a DPage project, run:

Terminal
dpage unlink

This will safely delete the .dpage/ directory and its contents.

Resolution Order

Commands that require a project context (like indexing) resolve it in this order:

  1. Flags: --organization-id and --project-id passed directly to the command.
  2. Linked Project: IDs found in .dpage/project.json.
  3. Error: If neither is found, the command will fail with a helpful error message.
If you're working on multiple projects, linking is the most efficient way to switch between them. Just cd into the directory and run your commands.
