Creation of SVN Branch

Creating or registering a Subversion (SVN) branch in AutoRABIT (ARM) lets you isolate development work, manage parallel features, and automate deployments from that new branch. The steps below cover both creating a brand-new branch and registering an existing one so ARM can track commits, merges, and CI jobs against it.

Creation of SVN Branch

1. Log in to ARM.

2. Open the VC Repo's tab.

3. Select the SVN repository where the new branch should live.

4. Click Create.

   
5. In the Create Branch dialog, enter a Display Name.

   Allowed characters – avoid "//" \ , * ? & ' " < > | ` ~ ( ) and spaces in the Display Name.

6. Choose the appropriate Credential from the drop-down.

7. In Branch URL, append the new branch path to the parent branch (e.g., branches/Development).

8. Parent URL auto-populates from the repo; edit only if necessary.

9. Click Create to finish.

   

Registration of an Existing SVN Branch

Already created a branch directly in SVN? Register it so ARM can use it in EZ-Commit and CI.

1. In VC Repo's, select the SVN repository from Repository List.

   
2. Click Register.

3. Enter a Display Name for the branch.

1. The Repository root is pre-filled. In Branch URL, add the path to the existing branch (e.g., branches/Integration).

2. Set Last Commit Date – ARM will pull changes from Salesforce only after this timestamp in EZ-Commit.

3. Click Register.
