What happens if a feature branch already exists for a user story during the commit process?

When a feature branch already exists for a user story during the commit process, Copado adds the changes to that existing feature branch. This approach is designed to streamline the development workflow by ensuring that all related changes for a specific user story are kept together within the same branch. It allows developers to incrementally commit their updates without creating unnecessary complexity or clutter in the repository.

Using the same feature branch helps maintain a clear version history and allows for easier tracking of changes related to the user story. This way, team members can collaborate efficiently, and the feature can be reviewed comprehensively before it is merged into the main codebase. The process is designed to enhance collaboration and maintain organization, which is essential in version control and continuous delivery settings.
