Branch overview page

[Bwko]

I'd like to see something like the github branch overview page.

• List branches
• Create branches
• Delete branches
• Compare branches.

See gogs/gogs#2310

Shortened the title, I was confused whether it was a "Add branch" overview or add "Branch overview" until I read the upstream issue :)

[KangoV]

Would this allow the deletion of a branch?

[lunny]

You can delete a branch after that's merged from forked repo to source repo. This feature has been implemented I remember.

[Bwko]

@KangoV Yes i want to create something like githubs implementation.

[neilherbertuk]

Would be extremely interested in seeing this implemented!

[lunny]

Sorry, This has been implemented in v1.3.

Branch compare left

Is this still in development or dropped? I would really love to see and use this feature.

[lunny]

@Nobodys currently nobody are working on this.

Any news on this ? It would be so cool

[lunny]

@Bwko @KaKi87 I changed the issue content and now it's a check list.

[KaKi87]

Hey there, any news on this ?

[6543]

@Bwko Compare branches. is here with the "Create Pull"

[6543]

and what is the usecase of Create branches ? how should this work ?!?

[KaKi87]

@6543 git checkout -b or git checkout --orphan, depending on the user's choice. How else ?

[6543]

But wich usecase?

If you argue to edit via web later -> editor can create a new branch

[KaKi87]

What if I want to create a new branch for someone else to use ?

[lafriks]

@KaKi87 you can do that from Code tab branch selection dropdown

[KaKi87]

I see that dropdown, but it's only displaying the list of existing branches, there is no add/edit/remove buttons there.

[lunny]

@KaKi87 It's some tricky. You could browser the commit code root path and in the dropdown, input the name you want to tag. and click the create branch xxxxx on the changed dropdown.

[KaKi87]

Oh, I see it now. Well, it's pretty hidden. I still maintain that regrouping all these features on a dedicated page would be a good idea. :)

closed since beside the "Create Branch" witch github aso do not have on the overview ... all is solved & more

note: creating branch via UI is supported
