server by making use of GIT. Beware that there are GIT commands used in this article, so, make sure that you are comfortable working around GIT. This is so each feature development would be carried out without the influence of another feature being developed at the same time. In this example, we have a "Meeting" app and the table below describes works to be carried out. |
| App Version | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Modify request form. |
| 2 | Add calendar menu to the app. |

When all features are developed and tested in v1 and v2, we are now ready to merge them. To preserve the work already done, we will clone v2 into a new copy, v3. Then we will attempt to perform the merging in v3 itself.
As shown in figure 2 below, bring up the "App Configuration Management" screen, select version 2, and click on "New Version".

Once the version is created, navigate to the newly created version ( i.e. wflow/app_arc/meeting/meeting_3 ) from your command line. We are going to merge v1 and v3 through GIT commands below.

Once we have merged them, if there are any conflicts, we will need to resolve them. In the figure shown below, we can see that there are 4 conflicted files.
Figure 45: Resolving Conflicts
In this case, we are making use of Visual Studio Code to inspecting the conflicted files and resolve them.

Once all conflicts are resolved, we can then commit merge.

Going back to the Joget screen, navigate to "App Configuration Management" > "Git Configuration", turn on "Auto Sync DB from GIT" as shown in the figure below.

We can check the server log for sync completion. Once it is done, we can then inspect the app again to make sure that everything in v1 and v2 is merged properly in v3.

If verification / testing of app version 3 fails or not satisfactory, we can restart the whole process again. Delete version 3 from "App Configuration Management". Then, delete the "meeting_3" folder from "app_src/meeting" as well for good measures.
To summarize, these are the steps:-
- Clone v2 into a new copy, v3 using "App Configuration Management".
Using CLI, navigate to app_src/meeting/meeting_3. Execute the following commands to merge works from v1 and v2 inside v3.
Code Block language bash linenumbers true git remote add v1 ../meeting_1 git fetch v1 git merge v1/meeting_1 meeting_3 --allow-unrelated-historiesResolve conflicts and commit.
- Navigate to "App Configuration Management" > "Git Configuration", turn on "Auto Sync DB from GIT". Click anywhere to start sync and observe server log for completion.
- Verify changes made in version 3.
