Associating a Local Location To a Remote C/C++ Project

If you already have a remote C/C++ project, you might wish to associate a local location with the project in order to facilitate the use of local tools such as source control systems with your project code. Such local tools will then be able to see a local copy or version of your files and then operate on that copy or version.

To associate a local location with the project, open the context menu for the project and select Associate Local Location...

Associate Local Location context menu item

This will bring up the Associate Local Location Wizard.

Associate Local Location Wizard

By default, the local location will be inside your local workspace. You may select another location if you choose by unchecking the "Use default location" checkbox and selecting a different location. Once you have selected a location and configured your synchronization options, hitting Finish will convert the project to use that location, and transfer any files to the local system if required.
