pull request:select branch first then auto detech conflict #1281

Open youkaichao opened 6 years ago

currently, when we enter the pull request page, it's often the case that the default head branch and the base branch are not we want, so we need to change the branch. However, pull request now auto detect if they conflict every time when we change head branch / base branch, which is time-consuming.

Can we choose base branch and head branch first, without checking the ability to auto merge? Then we can choose branch fast, and github only needs to check auto merge once, which reduces the pressure to github server ^_^ win-win solution!

github response:

Thanks for your feedback! We're always working to improve GitHub and we consider every suggestion we receive. I don't show that we are planning to remove auto detecting conflicts on branch selection this year, but I have added it to our internal Feature Request List.

We can't say if/when we may add a feature, however your feedback has definitely been recorded.

All the best, Lesley
