Sad to see that the biggest missing feature of github.com (and actually a simple one) is not on their roadmap, not even considered in the "future" section...

https://github.com/isaacs/github/issues/1125



This is one of those backwards features I hope never gets implemented.

Just open your IDE/CLI and create the branch with one git command.

Look at all the steps that that issue lists. It’s ludicrous.


To be fair this looks really simple to wire up using the API and a single webhook.


Yet nobody has done a great implementation of it. There is an unofficial github.com action but e.g it doesn't allow to choose the branch name


I would assume the branch name would just match the issue id?
