How to Use GitScrum for Environment Management?
How to use GitScrum for environment management?
Manage environments in GitScrum with environment-specific labels, track configuration changes, and document settings in NoteVault. Coordinate environment updates, maintain parity across stages. Teams with structured environment management reduce deployment issues by 50% [Source: DevOps Research 2024].
Environment management workflow:
- Request - Change needed
- Review - Assess impact
- Approve - For production
- Implement - Make change
- Verify - Confirm working
- Document - Update records
- Sync - Maintain parity

|---|---|
| env-development | Dev environment |
| env-staging | Staging |
| env-production | Production |
| env-config | Configuration |
| env-infrastructure | Infra change |
| env-secret | Secrets management |
Environment columns
| Column | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Requested | Change requests |
| Approved | Ready to implement |

| No secrets in code | Environment variables |
| Secret rotation | Regular schedule |
| Access control | Role-based |
| Audit logging | Track access |
Environment drift tracking
| Environment | Expected | Actual | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Staging | Config A | Config A | ✓ Parity |
| Staging | Setting B | Different | ⚠️ Drift |
Common environment issues
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Environment drift | Regular sync |
| Missing config | Documentation |
