Need to do version control branch-to-branch deployments? You can kick things off directly from Prodly by creating a pull request (PR). Here's how it works and what to expect.

How to Create a Pull Request

1. Go to the Deploy Page
   • When you're ready to deploy between branches, select Create a Pull Request.
2. Select Your Branches
   • In the Source field, choose the branch you’re deploying from.
   • In the Destination field, choose the branch you’re deploying to.
3. Add a Pull Request Name
   • Give your PR a clear name. This is required before continuing.
4. What’s Included

   • The PR will include all differences between the source and destination branches.

     The pull request automatically includes all differences between the two branches. There is no option to select individual metadata components within the Prodly UI before creation.

   • A PR is automatically created in your repo based on your selected branches.

   • Optionally select Test Classes which are appended to the PR description based on the selected environment which is used to load the Test Classes from.

     Selected test classes are appended to the PR description in the format TestClasses::[Test1, Test2]::TestClasses. Your CI/CD pipeline must be configured to parse this marker and pass the classes to RunSpecifiedTests. This only has effect on branches configured to run RunSpecifiedTests.

Viewing Pull Request History

Pull Request History Page

Once your Pull Request is created:

• You’ll be redirected to the History page.
• You’ll see a new tab called Pull Requests.
• This tab lists all PRs created through Prodly, with:
  • PR Title
  • Submitted By
  • Created On (time)
  • Source Branch
  • Destination Branch
  • Status (e.g., open, merged).

View Pull Request Details

While in progress and after completion, use the Pull Request History page to drill into the results.

To access the page, click any pull request record from the Pull Request History table to open the Pull Request Details page.

Pull Request Details

The Pull Request Details page displays pertinent information about the pull request:

• PR Title – Displays the name you provided for the pull request.
• Status – Displays the current status of the pull request (e.g., open, merged).
• Source Branch – Displays the branch you are deploying from.
