                                  Unicorn is a utility for Sitecore that solves the issue of moving templates, renderings, and other database items between Sitecore instances. This becomes problematic when developers have their own local instances - packages are error-prone and tend to be forgotten on the way to production. Unicorn solves this issue by writing serialized copies of Sitecore items to disk along with the code - this way, a copy of the necessary database items for a given codebase accompanies it in source control. The major benefit of this tool is free compare to TDS. So Let’s play with Unicron step by step. 1.      How to install unicorn with your Sitecore Instance?      Here As per your project structure you can create separate module or you can go ahead with existing module.

If you are a Sitecore developer and you are working with a team then i am sure you will need to serialize your items to take under one roof. so that any team member take it easily. So we have two ways to do these things. a. Create a package and install b. Use TDS/Unicorn to sync your items. first approach personally i don't like because it will take too much time and creation a package a headache. So i will prefer second approach due to flexibility and maintainability. right now i am choosing TDS. Unicorn setup we will create later so in this post we will install and configure TDS.

Using TDS, you will improve the control and overall performance of the team and your project. it have many benefits like your all Sitecore items and code are stored in a single repository, m...

Install and Configure TDS (Team Development Sitecore ) in Sitecore When you are working with Sitecore in a team with more developers, you can either use a shared database or solve the synchronization of Sitecore items among developers in some way. so for that i have gone through many articles and found two tools. a . TDS b. Unicorn so i have worked both tools and playing frequently. so both are powerful and both are given to much flexibility. but if you asking me my favorite then definitely i recommend TDS😇. for deep learning you have to go through below article. definitely you will be enjoy. https://sitecorerunner.com/2017/03/01/unicorn-vs-hedgehog-tds-for-sitecore-hmm-what-to-choose/ https://sitecore.stackexchange.com/questions/8985/what-are-the-differences-between-tds-classic-and-unicorn http://sitecore-masters.com/en/introduction-to-sharing-sitecore-items-when-working-in-teams-using-unicorn/ Happy Coding😇
