What occurs when the Commit Button is clicked?

When the Commit Button is clicked, changes are committed into a new user story feature branch. This functionality is crucial in version control systems and platforms like Copado, as it allows users to isolate and document their changes within a specific branch that corresponds to a user story. By doing this, the changes can be tested and reviewed independently from the main codebase, minimizing the risk of introducing errors to the primary branch.

Creating a feature branch for each set of changes promotes better collaboration among team members by providing a clear context for the work being done and maintaining a cleaner and more stable main branch. This strategy is especially useful in Agile workflows, where features are developed incrementally.

The other options mentioned do not accurately reflect the action performed upon clicking the Commit Button. Discarding changes or canceling the process would not align with the typical functionality of committing in version control systems, which is intended to save progress and create a record of changes. Additionally, automatically saving changes to the main branch without a review process would negate the benefits of branching, making it less organized and more prone to issues during development.
