The Command Center is an ancient magical artifact that imbues its wielder with godlike capabilities such as:

  1. Teleport between different pages (go to different pages).
  2. Cast spells that trigger pipelines, immortalize code, etc. (perform an action).
  3. Conjure new entities such as files, folders, pipelines, and more (create new objects).
  4. Enchant objects and reveal their inner details (view object details).
  5. Summon applications to do your bidding and fight alongside you (open applications).
  6. Heal wounds suffered from bugs and errors (get help and support).
  7. Alchemize entities and update their inherent properties (update object attributes).

Modes

The Command Center by default will show a standard list of actions and items that are useful throughout Mage.

However, there comes a time when you must transform into a different mode to better tackle specific quests. Currently supported modes are:

Version Control

Switch into the Version Control mode to become the master of Git workflows. This mode comes with spells and artifacts for pulling code, viewing file diffs, committing changes, pushing features, etc.

More modes coming very soon!

Application launcher

The Command Center can launch Mage applications within the currently running Mage instance. These applications can be used simultaneously throughout your journey in Mage.

Currently supported applications:

Text Editor

This is the file browser and the code editor self-contained in a single application.

Portal Terminal

This is the terminal with multi-terminal support and can be launched and used on any page.

Code Matrix

This application provides a new and revolutionary way to write code, test, and debug.

More applications coming very soon!
