Finish Feature dialog: explicitly name target branch

Neo 3 months ago updated by Thomas Singer 3 months ago 0

With github calling new master branches "main", the application is a bit confusing when setting up the feature branch flow option as it asks for "main branches".

Further more and even more confusing, when you come to finishing a feature, on the Finish Feature dialog, the first radio option is "Finish to main branch". This should state the name of the branch selected at feature setup as "main" is now confusing.

In my case I'm using the "develop" branch for all developments and "main" for production in line with Git-Flow process. As you can imagine being told each time that I'm finishing to "main branch", when in reality I'm finishing the "develop branch" (even though this does happen behind the scenes) is a bit disconcerting. I appreciate the text sub text at the top of dialog states the "develop" branch, but at quick glance it would be better if the radio also showed this.

If would be ideal at setup to request "derived branch(es)" rather than "main branches" or something similar, and then on the Finish Flow dialog, show the branch name you selected at setup that you are actually finishing to.

Thanks.
