ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to synchronizing code from multiple Software Configuration Management (SCM) systems. A method according to an embodiment of the invention includes: obtaining source code from a foreign SCM system and a central SCM system; obtaining a list of files and directories from the foreign SCM system and the central SCM system; creating a batch file; iteratively verifying from the list of files and directories from the foreign SCM system source code whether each file is one of: a new directory, an existing directory, a new file, or an existing file; for each new file and new directory verified from the foreign SCM system, creating in the batch file a command to add the new directory or the new file to the central SCM system; and completing the batch file. Another embodiment includes merging files in the central SCM system.
