Abstract
Some embodiments transfer a software development working context between development environments. The environments may be on the same machine, or on different machines. The working context includes ephemeral state information (ESI), such as edits not yet committed to a repository, development tool user interface state, command history, build history, debug history, execution history, tool window content, hot exit files, or search filters, among others. The ESI is computationally gathered from RAM and other locations in a source environment, written to an edit session artifact (ESA), and then read from the ESA and installed at a target environment. The transfer is accomplished without committing source code to any source code version control system, e.g., repository. The transfer may be tailored for efficiency or efficacy by determining whether a particular software development capability is present in one or both of the environments.
