ALM Best practise

Working this way is best practise for Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) and makes it possible to deploy portals to dev, test and production in a painful and fluent way.

Powershell with Portals CLI

We use PowerShell to handle Portals commands to authenticate, create auth profiles, download and upload portal content. This enables us to use Visual Studio Code when working with Portals code.
