   dotnet new umbracocloud --git <your-umbracocloud-v13-git-url.git>

Visual Studio Setup for Umbraco Cloud Version 9 and above compared to Version 8 and below

The big difference with using Umbraco Cloud for version 9 and above are as follows:

• In v8 and below on Cloud the git repositories for your environments store the DLL files but in v9 and above on Cloud DLL files are not stored instead your source code is stored allong with referenced nuget packages. The official documentation explains this https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cloud/getting-started/git-repository-in-a-cloud-project
• Umbraco cloud recommends that you store your code in an external git hosting service, so for example if you used Gitlab then you could mirror repositories of the Umbraco Cloud repository. https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/repository/mirror/
• The git url you get from https://umbraco.io/ can now store a backup of your entire source code, and it is preconfigured to a build pipeline, which means no more storing of dll files in git. You will still need to build your frontend artifacts and push that over.
• Umbraco cloud now comes with a csproj file, which means you can get started with Visual Studio out of the box. There are no special scripts needed to setup your cloud project for Visual Studio.
• Also your project comes with a default ReadMe.md file that has all the information you need to get started, so remember to read it for more details
