If you are using Deployment Manager in a distributed, branch-based environment and using multiple pipelines per application, first export the branch to the source development system, and then merge it.

Do the following steps:

1. On the remote development system, package the branch. For more information, see Packaging a branch.

2. Export the branch.

3. On the source development system, import the branch by using the Import wizard. For more information, see Importing a file by using the Import wizard.

4. On the source development system, start a deployment by using the Merge Branches wizard. For more information, see Submitting a branch into a pipeline.

   If you are using one pipeline per application, you can publish a branch to start the merge. For more information, see Publishing a branch to a repository.
