Create branch for issue

Open rprouse opened this issue 10 years ago • 4 comments

If project is open and it is a git repository, enable a button to create a branch for working on an issue. Format of the branch name should be configurable in settings.

For the first pass, I propose the naming convention fix-{issue} be used. For example, this issue can be resolved via a fix-79 branch.

I prefer issue-{issue} only because it is the convention on the NUnit project and that is where I do most of my work :smile:

All the more reason to make it at least a global configuration setting.

I have no problem with issue-{issue}. Visual Studio settings can be a bit tricky, especially given the number of different ways this could be handled. Plus we could make the configuration part lower priority while still enabling a majority of users to start using the feature sooner.

As a part of this feature, I wonder if it would be helpful/possible to automatically have an initial commit with a message to reference the issue in github. i.e. "Initial commit for #{issue}"
