Figma Flow Diagram

Add a "Start work" button to the Home view that opens a quick pick to initiate different flows for starting work (creating a branch).

Users should be able to create a branch, create a branch on a worktree (pro), and do either of those from an issue on a connected service (e.g, create a branch from a Jira issue).

New branches associated with issues will follow whatever naming conventions the service (e.g, Jira) requires to associate them.

• if users have specific autolinks setup to make these associations, we may want to consider those when creating branches for issues.

Roadmap

• ✅ collect GitHub issues

• ✅ if we don't have an issue integration, suggest user to connect it. (can we have many issue providers? I believe, yes).
  

• ✅ build compatible branch name based on issue title and id
  

• ✅ Remove "read more about start work" section from "connect integrations" step:
  

• ✅ when user selects a GitHub issue, highlight the corresponding repository on the "select repo" step

• ✅ add "Start Work" button to the home screen
  

• ❌ feature gate:
  

• ✅ let user create a branch without selecting an issue (just send them to "create-branch" flow)
  

Follow-ups

• ⏺️ collect Jira issues

• ⏺️ what if provider requires to select a project first? add a corresponding screen that lists available projects.
  

• ⏺️ support other providers:

  • GitLab
  • Azure
  • Bitbucket?
  • ???

Possible follow-ups

• on GIJ we let user to configure templates for branch naming, that support such fields as issuekey, summary, username, displayname, projectkey, sourcebranch
• we might want to let user configure default repository and default main branch for a specific project in issue management system.
