Keeping dev sandboxes in sync with the latest codebase is crucial to avoid building on outdated files, which leads to conflicts and issues later.
However, we commonly hear that this is a time consuming and risky process, often causing work in progress to be overwritten.
Due to this, we often hear team members abandoning this process altogether as they end up drowning in PRs with tens or even hundreds waiting to be backpropagated.
Because of this, Gearset's built a streamlined syncing solution into pipelines.
It will track promotions to your main branch and present them as updates for easy deployment back to your dev sandbox.
It will maintain the correct promotion order to avoid dependency issues, and you can sync multiple issues in a single action, eliminating the need for multiple PRs.
And most critically, Gearset will automatically detect if any of your work in progress will be affected.
It'll capture those changes and enable those users to safely merge to prevent overridden work.
And this will use the same merge conflict UI that is used in the rest of GitSet pipelines.
Of course, with these numerical visualizations here as well, it's also really easy to see which team members are keeping up with updates and who's falling behind.
