feat(cli): add --git-branch flag to branches create command#5250
Merged
Conversation
Exposes the v1 API's git_branch field on `supabase branches create` in the next shell. When provided, it overrides the git branch detected from the local environment so users can explicitly associate a git branch independent of the new branch's name.
Adds a --git-branch flag on `supabase branches create` in the Go CLI and forwards it through the legacy TS proxy. When provided, the flag takes precedence over the git branch auto-detected from the local working directory.

Adds support for explicitly specifying a git branch to associate with a new preview branch via the
--git-branchflag in thesupabase branches createcommand.Changes
gitBranchflag to thecreatecommand config with optional string value. The flag prefers explicitly provided values over auto-detected git branches from environment variables.gitBranchflag to the legacy branches create command for backward compatibility.--git-branchflag support to the branches create command, respecting explicit values over auto-detected branches.git_branchfield when provided.SIDE_EFFECTS.mdto reflect the newgit_branchparameter in the API request body and added the flag to the documented command flags.--git-branchvalues take precedence over auto-detected branches.Implementation Details
The implementation follows a preference hierarchy: explicitly provided
--git-branchflag values take precedence over auto-detected git branches (fromGITHUB_HEAD_REFor local git state). This allows users to override auto-detection when needed while maintaining backward compatibility for existing workflows that rely on auto-detection.https://claude.ai/code/session_01Vsgo83p6eooc7QUXuZXJVx
