Abstract: Computerized systems and methods are provided for integrating copy data tokens with source code repositories. A first command associated with the version control system stores in the memory a copy of source code and a copy of the data token from the remote repository, comprising source data and mount data. A second command associated with the version control system is executed to create a version of the source code stored in the memory. Based on the execution of the second command a working copy of the copy data is created based on the data token for use with the version of the source code, comprising creating a copy of the copy data from the data source based on the source data, and mounting the working copy to the device based on the mount data, thereby automatically managing the copy data for the version control system.
