Abstract
A method, and associated computer system and computer program product, of detecting source code merge conflicts and compilation errors. Uncommitted changes associated with a source code are received periodically at each time of a sequence of times. A temporary branch corresponding to each uncommitted change associated with the source code is created. The temporary branch corresponding to each uncommitted change is merged to corresponding portions of the source code. It is ascertained that no merge conflict resulted from the merging and in response, a compilation of a merged version of the source code is performed, wherein the merged version of the source code includes the temporary branch corresponding to each uncommitted change. It is determined that no compilation error occurred from the compilation and in response, a version of a product that includes the merged version of the source code is created.
