Create Branch from Milestone
Description
Similar to the ability to create a branch in the UI for a specific issue, I'd be interested in the ability to create a branch for a milestone with a standard naming convention from GitLab.
Proposal
The proposal would be to implement the "New Branch" button found on an issue page and implement its functionality on a milestone page.
Links / references
Mentioned "new branch from issue" in this doc link: https://gitlab.com/help/user/project/repository/web_editor.md#create-a-new-branch-from-an-issue
Documentation blurb
Overview
We often use milestones for larger features, and would use a feature branch for staging changes prior to merging into master
. When creating the milestone, it would be nice to use the UI to make a consistent branch name that relates to the milestone.
Use cases
Groups that use milestone == feature and want a feature branch as staging prior to merging into master and/or deploying.
Feature checklist
Make sure these are completed before closing the issue, with a link to the relevant commit.
