SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT PREBUILD TRIGGERED BY ENVIRONMENT CHANGE COMMITS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17735829 titled 'SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT PREBUILD TRIGGERED BY ENVIRONMENT CHANGE COMMITS

Simplified Explanation

- The patent application describes a computer system that can identify a software development environment (SDE) and generate a prebuild of the SDE. - The computer system obtains data related to the state of the SDE and generates a hash based on this data. - It can then identify a commit (a change made to the SDE) and determine if it has changed the state of the SDE by generating a new hash and comparing it to the previous hash. - If the commit has changed the state of the SDE, the computer system generates a new prebuild of the SDE. - The innovation here lies in the automated process of identifying the SDE, tracking changes to its state, and generating prebuilds accordingly.


Original Abstract Submitted

A computer system is configured to identify a software development environment (SDE), and generate a first prebuild of the SDE. The computer system is further configured to obtain data associated with a plurality of elements that are related to a state of the SDE, and generate a first hash based on data associated with the plurality of elements. The computer system is also configured to identify a commit to the SDE and determine that the commit changed the state of SDE by obtaining data associated with the plurality of elements, generating a second hash based on the data, and determining that the second hash is different from the first hash. In response to determining that the first commit changed the state of the SDE, the computer system then generates a second prebuild of the SDE.
