We've learned a lot about working
with individual workspaces.
0:00
But when you're taking courses on
TreeHouse or practicing on your own,
0:03
you'll create lots of workspaces, and it's
important to learn how to manage them all.
0:06
So let's take a look.
0:12
From anywhere on TreeHouse you can
go to the menu on the left, and
0:14
click on Workspaces, and
you'll see a screen that looks like this.
0:18
This is a list of all the workspaces
that I've created, whether it's for
0:22
practicing on my own, or for following
along with the course on TreeHouse.
0:27
For each listing,
0:32
you'll see the title of the workspace,
along with where it was started from.
0:33
So this was started from
just a blank workspace.
0:39
This one was started from a template.
0:42
And this one was started from a course,
0:45
you can also see what
type of work space it is.
0:47
So these are front end workspaces but
this one I'm using Python,
0:51
on the right we have a few
more controls for forking and
0:57
renaming workspaces so
we'll take a look at those in a moment.
1:01
But first let's look at
this bar across the top.
1:05
I have a lot of workspaces and
1:09
sometimes it could be difficult to
find the one that I'm looking for.
1:12
So, I can use the search here,
and let's say for example,
1:15
that I wanted to see all of the workspaces
that have the word CSS In the title.
1:19
So now I've found all the workspaces
that have CSS in the title or
1:25
in where they were forked from or
where they were started from.
1:31
So let's remove that search.
1:36
In addition, you can also filter, so
1:40
right now I'm sorting by whatever the
latest workspaces are that I've created.
1:44
But you can also sort by name.
1:49
If I just want to see the Python
workspaces I've created, or
1:55
the front end work spaces I've created,
I can filter by the environment.
1:59
So there's the only Python
workspace I've created.
2:05
There's all of the front end workspaces,
but
2:09
I just want to look at all environments.
2:11
You can also filter by the courses or
workshops that you've taken on TreeHouse.
2:15
So, for example, I have several workspaces
that I've made associated with the course,
2:21
how to make a website, or HTML Forms or
Ruby Basics, and you can easily
2:26
find workspaces associated with courses or
workshops by filtering this way.
2:32
From this interface, you can also create
new workspaces by clicking the new button
2:37
on the left, and you'll be presented with
this dialogue box that says New Workspace.
2:42
And you can type in the title for
your workspace,
2:50
such as My Workspace or Example Workspace.
2:53
And then you can choose the environment,
such as Front End,
3:00
and then you can choose
a template to start from, or
3:05
you can start from one of
your existing work spaces.
3:09
Then you can click Create Workspace and
3:16
workspaces will automatically open
your newly created workspace.
3:18
But for now, I'm going to close this and
3:24
as you can see it's now listed as
one of my available workspaces.
3:27
Your TreeHouse account will be
limited to 100 workspaces and
3:32
as you create new workspaces,
this progress bar will fill up.
3:36
So that you know how many
you have available to you.
3:40
If you want to rename a workspace or
delete a workspace,
3:43
you can click the gear icon next to
the workspace that you want to change.
3:48
This will bring up the workspace
settings window and
3:53
here I've called this Example Workspace.
3:56
I'll type, Another Workspace,
and choose Update Workspace.
3:59
And now it will be renamed, however,
4:06
I'd like to just delete this workspace for
now.
4:10
So I'll click the Workspace Settings
button and then choose Delete Workspace.
4:13
A confirmation dialogue box will come
up to let you know that this will
4:18
permanently delete the workspace and
it cannot be undone, but
4:22
I'll click OK, and
now that workspace is deleted.
4:27
Finally you can also fork a workspace.
4:32
So for example,
if I were working on this website and
4:36
maybe I wanted to try out
a different version of something or
4:41
do something experimental,
I could click the fork button to create
4:45
a copy of this workspace, and
I'll call this, Experimental.
4:51
And then click Fork Workspace, and
as soon as I do that, it will open up
4:56
the newly forked workspace and
allow me to make my changes.
5:02
This is great if you want to try out
something where you're not sure if it's
5:08
gonna work or if you just want to make
a copy of a workspace as a starting point.
5:12
If I close this workspace you can
see that the forked version now
5:17
appears in my list of workspaces,
and it will say that it was
5:23
forked from the Nick Pettit Website
workspace, which you can see right here.
