1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

  • creating a second instance of code in a target repository by copying a first instance of code in a source repository to the target repository;

    generating, by a processor, metadata relating to the first instance of code;

    at the target repository, monitoring the source repository to determine if the first instance of code has been modified based on the metadata, wherein the metadata comprises at least information relating to the source repository, a source file comprising the first instance of code, the first instance of code, and a property of the first instance of code;

    responsive to determining the first instance of code has been modified, generating, at the target repository, a notification relating to the modification, wherein the notification includes raising an issue, the issue highlighting the modification to the first instance of code;

    disabling the monitoring when the first instance of code and the second instance of code have diverged beyond a predetermined threshold value and when the issue is closed without any associated changes; and

    providing a user with a component for updating the second instance of code at the target repository based on the notification and the disabling.
