Feature Branch only flag
Add a flag to the run command to disable creating a pull request, to only create the feature branch.
My use case
In my case, I have multiple repositories which I want to run scripts against to create feature branches.
However I don't want to create a pull request to the default branch.
Instead I wish to create multiple pull requests from the feature branch to different protected branches in a sequential order.
To do this, I would like to add an option to only create the feature branch, and then create pull requests afterwards
Implementation
- I would like to contribute this feature if it's a suitable addition to multi-gitter
- I have no intention of adding this feature myself.
and then create pull requests afterwards
Do you mean to do this manually, or are you suggesting a change to enable this in multi-gitter as well?
Ideally I would also like to add a separate feature to declare multiple branches to create pull requests to.
It might be better to add a feature flag to declare multiple branches to create pull requests to instead, or both if someone wanted to perform the pull requests manually
I'm not sure I understand your last comment. Could you please elaborate.
But the initial feature of creating the branches without creating PR is something I think should be accepted. The question is just what to call it. We already have skip-pr, but it's referring to merging directly into the head branch.
I believe branch-only, feature-branch-only, or push-only might be good flag names. If there is one you prefer I'd appreciate the feedback
As for my last comment, I was describing a feature where we can declare multiple branches to create pull requests to in a single call
For example, I have 3 branches (dev, test, main)
I want to run my script off of the main branch and create pull requests to those 3 branches
Included in release v0.51.0 🎉
