Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer program products are included for automatically tracking source code changes for a user-customized feature of a software project. Metadata identifying the annotated source code for the user-customized feature is stored in an annotation database. The metadata include a location of the annotated source code within the one or more files of a code repository for the software project and a description of the changes that were made to the annotated source code. The metadata is used to determine whether any subsequent changes made by a second user to the one or more files affect the source code annotated by the first user for the user-customized feature of the software project. One or more automated tasks are performed for the user-customized feature when the subsequent changes are determined to affect the annotated source code.
