Abstract

A system and method for synchronizing or moving a personal workspace from a first computing system (e.g., a laptop) to a cloud-based computing system in a software development environment. The personal workspace synchronization service identifies changes made to the source code as a result of activities performed in the personal workspace of the first computing system. The source code changes are identified by comparing a snapshot of a current image of a container including personal workspace executing on the first computing system to a base container image of the personal workspace. The identified source code changes are transferred by the personal workspace synchronization service to the cloud-based computing system to generate an updated personal workspace on the cloud-based computing system that matches the personal workspace of the first computing system.

Claims19

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

initiating, via a web-based service executed by a processing device, synchronization of a personal workspace from a mobile computing system to a cloud-based computing system;
causing, by the web-based service, a pausing of a first container comprising a first image of the personal workspace executing on the mobile computing system;
identifying, by the web-based service, a first source code set of the first image of the personal workspace;
comparing, by the web-based service, the first source code set of the first image to a second source code set of a second image of the personal workspace stored by the cloud-based computing system;
identifying, by the web-based service, a set of changes between the first source code set and the second source code set;
transferring, by the web service, the set of changes to a second container of the cloud-based computing system;
transitioning the first container from an active mode to an inactive mode;
after transitioning the first container to the inactive mode, transitioning the second container from the inactive mode to the active mode;
generating, by the web-based service, an updated version of the second image of the personal workspace comprising the set of changes, wherein the updated version of second image matches the first image;
and
after transitioning the second container to the inactive mode, transitioning the first container to the active mode.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage device storing computer-executable instructions that, if executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:

identify, by a web-based service executed by the processing device, a first source code set of a first image comprising a first source code set corresponding to the personal workspace of a first container of a client computing system;
compare, by the web-based service, the first source code set to a second source code set of a stored base image;
identify, by the web-based service, a set of changes between the first source code set and the second source code set;
transfer, to a second container of a cloud-based computing system, a set of source code bits corresponding to the set of changes;
transition the first container from an active mode to an inactive mode;
in response to transitioning the first container to the inactive mode, transition the second container from the inactive mode to the active mode;
generate, by the web-based service, a second version of the source code set corresponding to the personal workspace stored on the cloud-based computing system, wherein the second version of the source code set comprises the set of changes and matches the first version of the source code set;
and
after transitioning the second container to the inactive mode, transition the first container to the active mode.
