Basics
There are the following main ways to synchronize project files with their copies on the local or remote server:
- Manually, through a menu command.
-
Automatically, every time a file is updated.
In this case, the default server configuration is used.
You can additionally configure this upload method to have only manually saved files uploaded.
- Automatically after the changes to the files are checked in to your version control repository.
Besides uploading files, you can also have PyCharm download files that were deployed according to the default server configuration.
