Can Update Sets and Source Control both be used at the same time?

[Johannes Mweli]

Hi ServiceNow Community Developers,

I am working on a requirement where I am doing a POC to see if we can use GitHub as a source control tool to track our development changes. Based on the investigation that I have done so far it looks like one cannot use both Update Sets and Source Control at the same time to track the customizations. In other words if I use Source control I can't use Update sets and vice versa. Is this assumption true. Do you guys know if the both the Update Set and the Source Control can be used at the same time or not? Please advise.

Thanks,

Johannes

Technically, they can be used at the same time, but it will lead to some headaches-- you will likely run into many conflicts for 'Found a local update that is newer than this one'.

So the short answer is yes, it can be done. The longer answer is why would you want to do both? You're better off choosing to do one or the other and to not mix here.
