When you onboarded to Cloud Manager as a new customer, you were provided with an empty Git repository. To help you get started, Cloud Manger offers a wizard to create a minimal AEM project based on the AEM Project Archetype as a starting point.

Follow these steps to create an AEM project using the wizard.

  1. Log into Cloud Manager at https://my.cloudmanager.adobe.com and select the appropriate organization.

  2. If you have not already, create your program. When the program is created, Cloud Manager detects that the repositories are not set up yet. A special call-to-action card then appears on the Overview screen.

  3. Click Create to start the wizard and provide important values.

    • Title - The title of the project. By default, it is set to the name of the program.
    • New Branch Name - The initial branch of your Git repositories. By default, it is main.

    Project values

  4. The dialog box has a drawer that can be opened by clicking on the handle toward the bottom. In its expanded form, the dialog box shows all the configuration parameters for the AEM project archetype. These parameters have default values that are generated based on the Title you already provided and do not require modification. They are explained here for your information.

    Detailed archetype parameters

  5. Click Create to create the starter project by using the archetype and commit to the named Git branch.

You now have a base project. It is time to set up your pipelines.

Existing or migrating customers

If you are a current Adobe Managed Services (AMS) customer or an on-premise AEM customer who is migrating to, you likely already have project code in Git or another version control system.

In such cases, you can import your project into the Cloud Manager Git repository.
