Create and populate a local catalog

Learning objectives:
  • share a catalog without a server, for example on a network drive

A catalog does not have to be online. Put it into a folder on your computer or on a network drive that your group can reach.

Task 1 - Create a catalog in a folder
album clone template:catalog <catalog-dir> my-catalog
Task 2 - Add the catalog to your collection
album add-catalog <catalog-dir>
Task 3 - Deploy your solution
album deploy my-solution my-catalog

The catalog is a git repository as well, so git needs your name and email (or --git-name and --git-email).

Task 4 - Update your collection
album update my-catalog
album upgrade my-catalog

Everyone who can read the folder can add the catalog with album add-catalog <catalog-dir>.
