Are you still committing entire files like it's 1999? If you often find yourself in a sandbox so crowded it feels like a festival porta-potty, you’re not alone.��

‍

It's a staggering : nearly a third of developers spend up to 10 hours each week just fixing bugs. That's time not spent coding.

‍

Here's where 91��ɫ’s new Selective Commit feature comes in. This innovative tool allows you to focus only on the changes you need. Streamlining your process. Enhancing efficiency dramatically.

‍

Why? Because untangling someone else’s code mess should never be part of your job description.

Challenges of Committing Changes in Shared Sandboxes

‍

In Salesforce development, committing changes often feels like playing a delicate game of Jenga –– each piece must fit perfectly, or the tower may collapse.

Common Pitfalls in Salesforce Commit Processes

Traditionally, committing metadata types like Layouts and Flexipages means 91��ɫ retrieves and commits the entire file from the source org, bundling all changes together. This can lead to deployment conflicts and the need for manual reversions, especially in environments with multiple developers working on the same files.

How Overlapping Changes Lead to Deployment Issues

Imagine making a crucial tweak to a Layout while your colleague makes unrelated changes to the same layout in the same sandbox. The traditional commit process would push both sets of changes forward, potentially leading to deployment conflicts and unintended consequences.

A Game-Changing Solution: Selective Commits

‍

To address these challenges and enhance your development workflow, we're thrilled to introduce a new feature in 91��ɫ: Selective Commits.��

‍

This new commit operation is available for specific metadata types and can be easily accessed right at your fingertips in the commit page.��

‍

‍

Once the operation is selected you can select the specific changes which you want in your file and save. 91��ɫ will even validate that your file is valid before committing your selected changes to git!��

‍

How 91��ɫ's Selective Commit Feature Solves These Challenges

1. Enhanced Control with Selective Commits

With the Selective Commit feature, you gain control over exactly which changes to commit, allowing you to select only the modifications you intend to deploy — no more, no less. This means you can isolate and commit only the changes relevant to your user story, without worrying about unintentionally moving other modifications along the pipeline.

2. Reducing Errors and Rework with Precise Commits��

Selective Commits ensure that only intended changes are committed, drastically reducing the need for rework and minimizing deployment errors. This leads to more reliable and stable deployment processes, crucial in fast-paced development environments.

3. Streamlined Collaboration in Shared Sandbox Environments

In shared sandbox environments, developers no longer need to extensively coordinate to avoid overlapping changes. Each developer can commit their changes independently, ensuring their commits won’t unintentionally include someone else’s work.
