fallback branch does not work with different main branches across repos

axaluss opened this issue · 1 comments

I am working with dozens of repos and each has a different default brach. Common default branches:

  • develop
  • main
  • master

Git link frequently bails figuring out the correct default branch and remote platform (self hosted gitlab).

Proposed solution inspiration:

  • add default fallback platform
  • allow default branch and platform selection per repo and remember that setting per repository
  • make the default branch a list of branch names e.g. main, master, develop and automatically figure out which actually exists, instead of having to pick just one for all repos

I think that the third proposed solution will be the best one: a list of fallback branch names to try in sequence.
