Techniques for synchronizing a set of code branches are disclosed. A synchronization process is triggered by an event and/or a schedule. The synchronization process includes traversing each code branch, such that parent branches of a particular branch are “in sync” prior to being merged into the particular branch. In an embodiment, a hierarchical order for a set of branches is determined. The branch represented by the top node of the hierarchical order does not have any parents. A branch that is a child of the branch represented by the top node is in the second level of the hierarchical order. The branch in the second level is updated by incorporating the current state of the branch represented by the top node. Thereafter, each branch is iteratively updated by incorporating the current state of the branch's parent branch. Hence, changes to any parent branch are propagated through all its descendant branches.
