Silently Merging a Child Stream into a Mainline Stream

A simple merge occurs when:

You can use the non-interactive merge option if you are not expecting conflicts and do not need to review the merged changes.

  1. Populate an empty work area with the content of the mainline stream using the Get operation.

  2. TIP  In the desktop or web client you can use an empty folder as the work area for the merge. The Merge wizard automatically populates the work area with the target stream content before merging the changes in the source stream.

  3. Open the Merge wizard and select Merge streams or their folders. Click Next.

  4. In the Merge changes from the stream box click Select and navigate to the child stream. This is the source of the merge.

  5. Select other merge options as required and click Merge.

  6. After the merge into the mainline work area has completed successfully, optionally click Deliver to commit the changes to the repository.

TIP  It is good practice to build and test before delivering merged changes, especially after a complex merge when conflicts had to be resolved.
