Make branch input boxes into dropdowns (or select elements)

Open jseppi opened this issue 7 years ago • 4 comments

It seems like we already have access to the list of branches in a repository (since they are listed in the "GitHub Branches" table). It would be a nicer user experience, I think, to have a dropdown box or <select> element for all the places where the user needs to specify a branch name instead of having to type it.

Add that for adding a new site

After #1027 is done, users will not be presented with a table of GitHub branches on the Site Settings page. That will maybe make it a little harder for them to fill out the branch and demoBranch text fields because they won't have a list of branches right in front of them. We might want to increase prioritization of this issue to make branch selection more user friendly.

I'm ok with this not being prioritized right now (unless it takes only an hour of work) given how rarely these settings are changed.

Closing for new round of UX research.
