Do I have to rebuild my frontend for production every time I edit it? I'm using Vue

Basically what I have is my frontend (Vue) and my backend (Node.js and etc.). By following a guide, I've built the frontend for production using npm run build. I got a bunch of files in a build folder I setup within a previous step. These files were then moved to a folder in the backend. It works, but it's more a demo than anything else, and the frontend and backend will have to be modified more as I continue.
I'm just wondering if and when I edit the fronted more (let's say, when I add a new page) am I supposed to go through this process again? So I'll modify the front end folder, build that, move files, etc.
Thanks.
Yes, definitely.
If we are in a development environment, we use npm run dev or yarn run which upholds the development environment running and updates the browser whenever any modifications inside the code happen. We don't use any final build in the development environment because we make code modifications so repeatedly that it would be a sore process to make a build after every modification and check the results using that build.
But, the production is distinct from the development environment. We deploy the only code which is bug-free, entirely working, and ready for users to use. Deploying to production means all changes have been made, and the final code is ready to be deployed. So, we make a final production build and deploy it to our server.
So, don't panic to deploy to production every time you make a small change in the code. First, complete your all changes, and test the changes in the development environment, if everything is working correctly then only create a final production build, and deploy it to the server.**
I hope this helps.

VS2017 setup - wrong team services account used?

Newbe to Team Services...
Vs2015 Desktop Community for original setup.
I stumbled through the setup of our ...visualstudio.com account and it is working on two PCs. I went down the GIT path but I'm not really clear on the process, I just kept banging on it until it worked. It is working (mostly) for two VB.Net WinForm projects on two PCs.
I'm now setting up a brand new PC and I installed VS2017. I didn't install any extra software for GIT (can't find any directions for source control install for that either, TS GIT quick start doesn't mention setting up GIT) I logged into the visualstudio cloud from the new install and cloned one of the projects from the cloud GUI. The files came down OK but the project type is evidently wrong because the Solution Explorer always lists all files and I can't open a form in the GUI. I also tried to use VS2017 to clone/download the project with the same result.
Do I need to install GIT in a fresh install of VS2017? Download from where/how to get a proper hookup with VS2017?
Why am I getting the files OK but the project type is not VB.Net Winform? Can that be tweaked or should I start over?
I was able to download using the .zip option from visualstudio.com but it isn't connected to a local or cloud repository. I'm not sure it is a good idea to connect these "out of band" files to an exisitng repository. The project is of the correct type and it builds OK and works.
Thanks!
View of solution in broken project:
It’s unnecessary to install extra software after you installed VS2017.
In short, use VS to work with git repo on VSTS (visual studio team services), you just need to connect your VSTS account in VS and clone a local repo as working copy for VSTS git repo. Operations in VS 2017 should be:
Connect your VSTS account in VS2017.
VS2017 -> team explorer -> manage connections -> connect to project.
If your VSTS account (sign up email address) hasn’t connected yet, click add an account. After that, you can select your VSTS project/repo to connect/clone.
Clone VSTS git repo locally.
If you didn’t clone git repo in step1, then right click a VSTS repo -> clone.
Work on the local repo.
After successfully cloned a repo, you are working on the local repo, you can also find the local repo’s name and branch you are working for in the right bottom of VS2017. Now the solutions should be same as what you find in VSTS.
And you can make change and commit for them. And then push your local commit(s) to VSTS git repo.
For VS2017, there are two forms to view solutions and files: solution related and all files/folders.
If you can’t find .Designer.vb and .resx files, you must use the second mode as the above graph.
To view all files/folder, you can switch the view to first mode as below graph.

MobileFirst client properties does not seems to change

In my project even if i change my server host using build settings and deploy target , the client properties does not change in the wlClient.properties file , however the context path changes to new one, the server host url is pointing to my local host now ,also one thing i have noted that wlBuildId this property is missing in the file
My version is :7.1.0.00.20150901-2103
What i have done :
Changed the server url in Right click > Run As > Build setting and Deploy target and rebuild the project even after rebuilding the wlClient.properties file the wlServerHost property doesn't change
Attached the settings screen along with this
I finally tracked down the problem , actually it was a bug in the build i have installed.
I installed the mobile first plugin from eclipse market which was of version 7.1.0.00.2015 which has the bug, then i removed the plugin and downloaded the package from IBM Mobile firsts website which was of build version 7.1.0.00.2016 which has the fix for this bug and it is rectified now.
The point to note is that the package in the eclipse's market has to be changed to the new build in which the issue is fixed.
Thank you

How to put IntelliJ/Pycharm settings under version control?

I'm a frequent user of PyCharm and a number of the other JetBrains IDEs. I try to keep my settings synchronized across the different IDEs, but I'm now considering moving to IntelliJ IDEA and am finding it extremely difficult to figure out what I've changed and what the differences are among my different settings files.
How can I put my PyCharm settings files under version control so that I can track my changes and also quickly revert back to old versions so I can try out new settings changes without fear?
(I don't mind exporting to a specific repo each time, but it seems that the settings always export as JAR files, which don't lend themselves to VCS.)
I am using the Settings Repository plugin to syncronize settings between PyCharm and PhpStorm and it is working very well. It is actually designed with version control and team sharing in mind, see project repo on github and have built in support for conflict resolution, merge and overwriting remote or local.
It does also support file system and, from what I can tell, what then is stored is the mirror version of the git repository.
PyCharm (at least the Linux 4.X and 5.0 Pro versions) places its config files in a .idea dir under the project dir:
$ find .idea/
.idea/
.idea/libraries
.idea/libraries/Google_App_Engine_SDK.xml
.idea/libraries/Generated_files.xml
.idea/apartsw.iml
.idea/misc.xml
.idea/modules.xml
.idea/runConfigurations
.idea/runConfigurations/apartsw.xml
.idea/encodings.xml
.idea/vcs.xml
.idea/inspectionProfiles
.idea/inspectionProfiles/MyProject.xml
.idea/inspectionProfiles/profiles_settings.xml
.idea/watcherTasks.xml
.idea/webResources.xml
.idea/workspace.xml
.idea/scopes
.idea/scopes/scope_settings.xml
.idea/dictionaries
.idea/dictionaries/username.xml
I added the entire dir with the exception of .idea/workspace.xml into the project's git repo, following JetBrains' PyCharm-specific and/or generic .idea-based Tools recommendations.

Worklight 5.0.6 wipes out native customizations in shell

I upgraded my environment to v5.0.6. Problem is that everytime i start Eclipse it does this:
[2013-04-19 18:38:41] FWLST1017I: [AppShell] upgraded to the latest
platform version.
When this upgrade takes place, it reverts my templates and adds class files to the iphone\native folder and removes the plugins I configured in the shell:
Removes all my custom plugins from components/AppShell/iphone/native/Classes
Resets project.pbxproj.wltemplate.wluser to stock removing includes for my classes
Resets config.xml.wluser removing all mappings to my plugins
It also always shows at the end of the upgrade process:
Failed to upgrade Worklight project 'AppMobile' to the latest platform
version. [null]
Is that why it keeps running the upgrade and reverting my changes?
According to your question, you have some .wluser files, which means that something is wrong with your project.
Can you please let me know whether the problem still exists and whether you still have those files in you project?
