Introduce a new "Sync with Repository" button on the Codebase Details page to allow users to manually synchronize the local codebase with the latest changes from the remote repository.
Motivation
Currently, synchronization relies solely on automated processes, which may not align with the user's preferred update schedule. Providing a manual sync option empowers users to control when they update the codebase, ensuring they have the most recent changes when needed.
Proposed Changes
Button Placement: Position the "Sync with Repository" button prominently at the top-right corner of the Codebase Details page, adjacent to existing action buttons.
Button Functionality:
On click, initiate a pull operation from the remote repository to update the local codebase.
Display a loading indicator while the synchronization is in progress.
Notify the user upon successful synchronization or display error messages if the process fails.
Design Considerations:
Use a distinct color (e.g., blue) to make the button easily noticeable.
Include an appropriate icon (e.g., refresh or sync symbol) alongside the button text.
Accessibility:
Ensure the button is accessible via keyboard navigation.
Provide ARIA labels for screen readers.
Implementation Steps
UI Enhancement:
Update the Codebase Details page layout to include the new button.
Apply consistent styling to match the application's design language.
Backend Integration:
Develop an API endpoint that handles the synchronization process with the remote repository.
Ensure proper error handling and logging for troubleshooting.
Frontend Functionality:
Implement the button's onClick handler to call the synchronization API.
Manage UI states (loading, success, error) based on the API response.
Testing:
Write unit and integration tests to verify the button's functionality.
Perform user acceptance testing to ensure the feature meets user needs.
Documentation:
Update the project's documentation to include information about the new synchronization feature.
Expected Outcome
Users will have the ability to manually synchronize their local codebase with the remote repository directly from the Codebase Details page. This feature enhances control over updates, improves flexibility, and can lead to a better user experience by aligning updates with the user's workflow.
Additional Information
Permissions: Ensure that only users with appropriate access rights can perform synchronization.
Performance: Optimize the synchronization process to minimize downtime and avoid conflicts.
Security: Validate all input and handle authentication securely when interacting with the remote repository.
