Alloy SDLC

Alloy is integrated with SDLC (supported by GitLab) enabling changes to be reviewed and committed with ease.

How to review and commit a change

See steps below on how to review and commit a change:

Sync local changes to workspace

Sync the local changes to the workspace using the icon in the status bar shown or use Ctrl+S.

Review changes

Select the diff view to review the sync'ed changes in workspace.

Create a review

To create a review, click the highlighted icon in the activity bar or hit Ctrl + Shift + M to go to the review panel. Review the code in the current workspace vs. the committed code in this view.

Commit the changes

After the review is approved, click commit.

Update workspace with latest changes

When the workspace is out of date, Studio provides a notification in the status bar on the bottom left. Select the update button to bring in the latest changes.

Resolve a conflict in the workspace

A workspace update may result in a conflict.

Studio will open a new view to aid in resolving the conflict.

Choose one of the following actions:

Discard the changes

Choosing Discard Changes at this stage, will result in the workspace changes being removed.

Review the changes

Chossing Review changes will result in a view where the workspace changes will be applied on top of the latest version.

As the first step, review the changes and compile (with F9).

Once the changes compile successfully, either Accept or Discard the changes.
