Start work on issue feature branches should be able to be prefixed - Non-Bitbucket Git

[Eric Stewart]

Kind of a duplicate of Issue #158

Ideally, the user should be able to specify in the settings a branch prefix like feature/ to prevent pollution of the root branch names. For users not using Bitbucket as their git provider this would be extremely helpful to have available as a setting.

+1 to this feature. we follow a standard naming of branches: (feature|hotix|…)/{JIRA-TICKET}-{feature-name} and the ability to be able to set a default prefix or a list of prefixes would drive adoption of the plugin.

+1.
Alternatively i’d already be happy if the automatically created branch name would be editable or just plain text so i can modify it manually.

Thank you!

Editable branch name is the minimum solution here. Would greatly prefer a template.

[Alastair Wilkes]

As of 2.0.0, you can now edit the branch name.

However, we're leaving this open as the main request here is for templates.

Any update on this? I love the Start Work feature but am getting very tired of deleting all the extra branch name text and adding “feature/” to the front.

Hi Tony - Sorry, no update on this right now. It's in the backlog.

Branch template for start work webview can be configured in the extension settings under Jira -> Start Work section.
