What is the impact of the promotion process in Copado?

The promotion process in Copado has a significant impact on both the destination org and the Git server. When a promotion occurs, it not only deploys metadata and changes into the target Salesforce environment (the destination org), but it also updates and maintains the version control system, which is the Git server.

This ensures that the changes made during the development phase are effectively recorded and synchronized with the version control repository, allowing teams to track their development history, manage changes properly, and collaborate efficiently. Such integration ensures that all changes are documented both in the deployment environment and in the version control system, providing a comprehensive overview of the project status and history.

This two-fold impact is crucial for maintaining alignment between the development environment and the production environment while enabling best practices in version control.
