[SalesForce] SOLVED – Communicate Between Unrelated Components – Trailhead- Error with LightningMessageChannel

I had similar idea or annoyance in past with storing local project to cloud, after using git version control things are much simpler and this approach is recommended.

Not only GIT allows you to work on multiple computer but also with a team. Basic version of popular source control like Github/Gitlabs/Bitbucket is free.

Continuous auto sync with google drive is much heavier for processor.

As the command says retrieve source in Manifest from org, that's the trick it only retrieves whats configured or specified in manifest, go to the sfdx project folder inside it you will find a manifest folder , inside it a file named package.xml this is where its specified what to retrieve from the org

A sample manifest:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<Package xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
    <types>
        <members>SampleClass</members>
        <members>SampleTestClass</members>
        <name>ApexClass</name>
    </types>
    <types>
        <members>*</members>
        <name>ApexComponent</name>
    </types>
    <types>
        <members>InvoiceTemplate</members>
        <name>ApexPage</name>
    </types>
    <types>
        <members>*</members>
        <name>ApexTestSuite</name>
    </types>
    <types>
        <members>*</members>
        <name>ApexTrigger</name>
    </types>
    <types>
        <members>*</members>
        <name>AuraDefinitionBundle</name>
    </types>
    <types>
        <members>*</members>
        <name>LightningComponentBundle</name>
    </types>
    <types>
        <members>Checkbox</members>
        <members>Logo</members>
        <members>Signature</members>
        <name>StaticResource</name>
    </types>
    <version>46.0</version>
</Package>

As you can see inside types the name specifies the type of metadata I want to pull and members contain the names of the resources Do this trailhead module to get a idea:

Recently you will find sfdx projects in Vscode have org browser, you can use this to click pull the data if you don't want to go through the hassle of manifest(It works on the default org)
