Which operation does Copado perform automatically when a user commits a user story?

When a user commits a user story, Copado performs the operation of committing changes to a newly created feature branch in Git. This is a fundamental aspect of the version control process Copado employs to maintain the integrity and organization of changes made within a project.

By automatically creating a feature branch in Git upon committing a user story, Copado allows developers to work on specific changes in isolation. This practice promotes collaboration and enables easy management of code changes since each user story can be tracked and handled separately. This feature branching approach is essential for maintaining a clean main branch and simplifies the integration process for different changes made by various team members.

The other options would not accurately describe the operation that occurs at the point of committing a user story. For instance, creating a new user story in Salesforce is a separate process that typically occurs through the user interface or API interaction with Salesforce, rather than directly linked to the commit action in Git. Generating an approval request and deploying changes directly to production involve different workflow stages, generally occurring after the feature branch has been developed and tested, not at the moment of committing the user story. This highlights the focused functionality of Copado in supporting developers with efficient branch management right from the user story commitment stage.
