WebIDE Default Commit options
Problem to solve
- The WebIDE default commit option for a new change in the WebIDE of "Commit to Master" makes it easy for maintainers to accidentally push changes to master when the typical workflow would be to "Create a new branch and merge request"
Further details
Proposal
All participants in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/ux-research/issues/220 confirmed that having Create a new branch
selected would fit the preferred and usual workflow for the majority of cases. It is also easier to resolve the situation if you selected Create a new branch
even though you actually wanted to commit directly to master
, than the other way around. The new default option should thus be Create a new branch
with Start a new merge request
selected.
