visual studio, platform io, backup entire project?

Hello everyone

I created and loaded a project in Visual Studio under the IO platform for my Arduino. Several libraries were also loaded that are included in the sketch (project). How can I save the entire project or create a backup if the libraries are no longer accessible or my PC is defective?

Thanks

Only a recommendation, no need: Use a version control such as Git and synchronize it with, for example, Bitbucket or Github. It’s all free. Github explains how to set up a local repository (local copy of your project) and synchronize it with the origin (so to say the backup repository). There you can easily include your libraries. Git is command line-based, as an alternative, you can also use GUI-based programs such as Sourcetree, which is sufficient for simple applications and where the learning curve is somewhat flatter.

In addition to the backup function, version control has the advantage that you can track whenever you have changed. With industries you can manage several development levels in parallel and much more, but I believe that it is too far and less relevant for your application. All in all a very powerful tool.

As a rule, the libraries are external and do not have to be secured. However, if you have and change it locally, you can easily copy the files to your backup.

Like a guide?

If they’re local they just copy?
