I'm trying to get started with Paul Seal's Umbraco13 tutorials. He points to
https://github.com/prjseal/Umbraco-13-Series/
I succesfully clone this, and it does download the whole .NET structure but the Umbraco content is completely empty. I've tried some of the intermediate tags but get the same result - no Document Types, not Templates, nuffink.
thanks for the response Afreed - it looked like missing data to me.
I compile & run what is downloaded & go into Backoffice > Settings but there is no USync tab or link anywhere that I can see.
From googling am I right in thinking that USync is a Nuget package that one must install?
I found the USync via another Paul Seal video, installed it & I get the USync link under Settings. I click install everything...but it makes no difference. There are still no Document types etc
I've been through the various tagged versions and there is no USync before tag 9. Does that mean its not possible to restore any of the tags prior to tag 9 and have a working version of the Umbraco content?
If you do a clean clone of Paul seal's repo, and then run (and go through the install). you can go to the settings section and you should see a "uSync" entry on the left hand side. (this repo already has uSync installed you don't need to add the package)
you can then go to the uSync dashboard, and select import from the 'everything' menu. that will import the settings .
After the import refresh the page (or refresh the document types tree) and the document types will be there.
Thanks Kevin, thanks for your reply.
Being a .NET developer I've been using the Visual Studio clone and also tried downloading the zip file. Doing it either of these ways there is no USync entry (that's why I had to add the package).
Is there a different way to clone and install that then gives me the USync feature and data? If so, could you point me to something that describes that pls?
thanks
Multiple ways all work for me (git clone, using github desktop, visual studio, clone from the splash screen, clicking on the visual studio option from github directly). all of them clone it down, and after running it in visual studio, i can go to settings -> usync and import all the doctypes etc in
What versions of visual studio / .net do you have, maybe there is something 🤷♂️
Using VS2022.
If i clone tag8 or later I get USync. Anything earlier than tag 8 (specifically tag 4) there is no Usync folder or link in Umbraco/Settings. Could you try cloning tag 4 pls to see what you get? Thanks
I don't know enough about paul's video series to know what to expect,
but yes, in the repo that version tag 4 doesn't have uSync installed ,and so it won't show up and equally none of the uSync files (they live in a folder usync/v9) exist, so even installing uSync isn't going to make it possible to import anything.
So uSync is installed from tag9 onwatds, and then it should work as expected,
but again i don't know enough about how pauls videos are stuctured, pulling the main branch (no tags) gives you everything, but that might be jumping ahead a bit.
Clone from git has empty Umbraco content

Is there a step I am missing?
Hi Paul,
You are missing the sql lite db that contains all that you are looking for.
You could go to settings in backoffice and use USync tab to import everything.

Thanks Kevin - I thought it might have been some magic setting I was unaware of. Paul
