gCTS: parallel development on the same server

0 Likes

I am currently using SAP S/4HANA with gCTS on a single DEV server, and I am trying to understand whether parallel development on the same object is possible when using different Git branches.

My scenario is the following:

  • Two developers are working in the same DEV system.

  • Each developer is using a different Git branch in gCTS.

  • Both developers need to modify the same ABAP object (for example, the same class, program, or CDS view) for different features.

Since gCTS is Git-based and supports branching, I expected that each developer could work independently in their own branch without locking the object for the other developer. However, in practice, the SAP object locking/edit mechanism still seems to prevent parallel editing on the same system.

So my question is:

Is true parallel development of the same object possible with gCTS when both developers are working in the same SAP DEV server but on different Git branches?

Or does gCTS branching only work properly for parallel development if each branch is connected to a separate development system/environment?

If anyone has experience with this scenario or knows the recommended approach for enabling parallel development of the same object with gCTS, I would really appreciate the clarification.
