# Create, update and delete {% hint style="info" %} Catana emphasizes keeping your codebase as the source of truth, therefore it doesn't have a UI for creating, updating, or deleting TODOs. {% endhint %} Create, update and delete operations are inferred from Git commits whenever a Git push occurs on the main branch (also known as the release branch) of an enrolled repository.\ \ This page will outline the operation Catana will perform based on what a user changed. ### A TODO is added Catana creates a new Todo Item record in its database.

### A TODO is removed Catana destroys the Todo Item record and closes any associated ticket in your issue tracker (in the event where a ticket was created for this TODO).

### A TODO is added and removed Two different outcome may happen: #### Update If the **changes occurs on the same line**, Catana considers that you are trying to update a TODO.

If the changes occurs **on a different line but the TODO itself doesn't change**, Catana considers that the existing TODO is moving location in the file and will update its record accordingly.

#### Destroy and create In all other scenarios from the "Update existing TODO" paragraph, Catana will consider that it needs to destroy and create a new Todo Item record.
