**Source Configuration**:

* **GCTS Environment**: Select the source environment from the dropdown.
* **Domain Controller**: Automatically populated based on the selected environment.
* **System ID**: Automatically populated based on the environment.
* **GCTS Repo**: Select the source repository.
* **Branch**: Choose the source branch to be compared or merged.

**Target Configuration**:

* **GCTS Environment**: Select the target environment from the dropdown.
* **Domain Controller**: Automatically populated based on the selected environment.
* **System ID**: Automatically populated based on the environment.
* **GCTS Repo**: Automatically populated based on the source repository selection.
* **Branch**: Choose the target branch into which changes will be merged.
