Version Control Meets Requirements Engineering: Ellygent + GitHub Integration

June 28, 2025
Managing structured requirements at scale often means juggling different versions, collaborators, and tools - and until now, keeping ReqIF versions traceable and in sync across systems was anything but simple. That changes today.

🎉 Introducing Ellygent's GitHub-Integrated ReqIF Versioning

Ellygent now supports native GitHub integration for managing versioned snapshots of your ReqIF specifications. You can now:

  • Create versioned ReqIF snapshots inside Ellygent
  • Push versions directly to GitHub for backup, traceability, and collaboration
  • Import snapshots from GitHub back into Ellygent to create new versions
  • Enable a true roundtrip ReqIF lifecycle, with full version history

Why it Matters

In traditional workflows, managing ReqIF files across tools and teams often involves manual steps, shared drives, or email threads. These methods are error-prone and opaque. Our GitHub integration brings the power of modern version control to structured requirements management:

Benefits at a Glance

  • Traceable Version History: Every change is captured and stored with context.
  • Collaboration Ready: Share, review, and manage requirements like code.
  • Roundtrip Engineering: Seamlessly sync snapshots between Ellygent and GitHub.
  • Audit and Compliance: Maintain clean, documented version trails for critical systems.

How It Works

1. Create a Snapshot

From any version of a ReqIF specification in Ellygent, generate a snapshot with one click.

2. Push to GitHub

Ellygent pushes the snapshot to a pre-configured repository and path. You’ll see the commit directly in your repo — great for peer reviews or CI pipelines.

3. Import from GitHub

Need to restore or branch from a previously committed version? Select the file in GitHub and import it — Ellygent creates a new internal version automatically.

4. Track Your History

The version graph shows all changes, sources (Ellygent or GitHub), and allows you to restore or compare at any time.

Let’s Talk

Whether you work in automotive, aerospace, medtech, or complex system development — Ellygent makes requirements work for you, not against you.
