difficulties following guideline for Implementing State Branch

[billy-agate]

hello i'm currently trying to implement state branch with git lfs plugin. but I'm still stuck on how to actually do it.

I'm still very new to unreal C++ scripting and module system so that I might miss lots of stuff.

below are script I created for trying out implementing state branches mostly copied from readme pages

// Fill out your copyright notice in the Description page of Project Settings.


#include "MyUnrealEdEngine.h"

#include "ISourceControlModule.h"
#include "ISourceControlProvider.h"

void UMyUnrealEdEngine::Init(IEngineLoop* InEngineLoop)
{
	Super::Init(InEngineLoop);

	// Register state branches
	const ISourceControlModule& SourceControlModule = ISourceControlModule::Get();
	{
		ISourceControlProvider& SourceControlProvider = SourceControlModule.GetProvider();
		// Order matters. Lower values are lower in the hierarchy, i.e., changes from higher branches get automatically merged down.
		// (Automatic merging requires an appropriately configured CI pipeline)
		// With this paradigm, the higher the branch is, the stabler it is, and has changes manually promoted up.
		const TArray<FString> Branches{ "origin/develop", "origin/promoted", "origin/master"};
		SourceControlProvider.RegisterStateBranches(Branches, TEXT("Content"));
	}
}

with unreal DefaultEngine.ini

What isn't working about it?

i'd try to create similar scenario with the example provided readme page.
and it doesn't actually indicate information that there are change in higher status branch

What's the name of your remote branch? It's common to use "origin/main" now a days instead of master. In your code you listed
"origin/develop", "origin/promoted", "origin/master"

Double check that you actually have a remote branch that matches one of those names.
