What will Copado generate if a component does not exist in the master or main branch?

If a component does not exist in the master or main branch, Copado will generate a "No changes Git commit record." This outcome occurs because Copado checks for differences between the feature branch and the main branch before committing changes. If it finds that the component in question isn't present in the main branch, it will record that no actionable changes are available for deployment. This is essential for maintaining a clean and organized version control history, ensuring that only meaningful changes are documented and pushed to the main branch. The creation of a "No changes Git commit record" helps teams understand that their current work does not necessitate any updates in the main branch and maintains the integrity of the deployment process.

The other selections, such as feature branch, new commit branch, and deployment commit, would typically imply the existence of some changes that need to be committed or deployed, which is not the case when the component is absent from the master or main branch.
