One of the most important phases of any software project is deployment or some migration. Repository Manager provides a convenient way to migrate the code from one environment to another. As you are aware, we have three different environments for migration. Usually, we refer to them as DEV for development environment, TEST for testing environment, and PROD for production.

You perform the unit testing, and then you migrate the code to TEST environment where the testing team performs the testing on the code to evaluate whether everything is running as per requirements. Once tested, the code is migrated to PROD where it actually goes live. When we wish to migrate the code, we need to make sure all the components along with their properties are migrated properly.
