Mechanism for automatically incorporating software code changes into proper channels

Abstract

A method of and system for incorporating a source code change made in a first branch of a source code configuration into a second branch of the source code configuration is carried out by detecting that the change was made to the first branch, identifying the second branch as a branch of the source code configuration that does not include the change, automatically incorporating the change into the second branch, determining if the automatic incorporation of the change was successful, and notifying an individual if the automatic incorporation was unsuccessful such that manual incorporation may be performed.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present disclosure generally relates to incorporating software code changes into an appropriate code branch, and more particularly to whether to determine if software code changes are incorporated into code branches and if it is, the improved improvement method is automatically initiated and system. Background technique [0002] Complex software code usually verifies and deployed before eventually issued. During this process, there may be a case where the final change is required when the software code version is released or will be released. These changes may be performed in different versions of software code because there may be multiple groups and developers. For example, developers may change the version of the code being deployed. However, the future version of the code may not include the change unless the change is incorporated back into the main version. In addition, any code versions from the backbone branch may not contain changes before inco...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

This is a cumbersome and inefficient process as final changes may be made to various versions of the software's code

Additionally, the process is error prone as it relies on one or more individuals to keep track of all required changes
