AEM Plugin for IntelliJ IDEA

The AEM Plugin for Intellij is a paid plugin, but has many nice features and is also able to sync automatically content from the local filesystem to the JCR in your local server - have a good look at the IntelliJ settings of the plugin for that.

ui.frontend in archetype

See README.md there ; command line npm run watch watches JS/CSS permanently and rebuilds and redeploys.

aemsync npm package

aemsync is command line tool to set up local file system to AEM server sync for a directory.

Start it e.g. with aemsync -v -w . -d 5000 -t http://admin:admin@localhost:5502 in the directory you want to be synchronized to the server. The -t argument is only needed if it’s a nonstandard port / username / password. If you’re using IntelliJ it might be a nice idea to add this as an external tool (Settings -> Tools -> External Tools) you can start in any directory you want to sync. (Set working directory to $FileDir$ for that.)
