Using the Gogo Shell in Dev Studio

If you’re using Dev Studio to develop and deploy your projects, you may be interested in managing them after they’re deployed with Dev Studio too. You can do this with the Dev Studio’s Gogo Shell feature.

1. Right-click your started portal instance in the Servers view.

2. Select Open Gogo Shell.

   

   Figure 1: Select *Open Gogo Shell* to open a terminal window in Dev Studio using Gogo shell.

   A Gogo shell terminal appears, allowing you to enter Gogo commands to inspect your Liferay instance and the projects deployed to it.

3. A common use case for the Gogo Shell is verifying successful project deployment. Enter the lb command to view a list of deployed bundles. If the project status is active, then it deployed successfully.

   

   Figure 2: You can check to see if your project deployed successfully to Liferay using the Gogo shell.

Important: Dev Studio’s Gogo shell usage requires Developer Mode to be enabled. Developer Mode is enabled in Liferay Workspace by default.

Excellent! You’ve learned how to manage your deployed projects with Dev Studio’s Gogo Shell integration.
