This is great, particularly the "Update Branch" feature. Prior to that, the only way to update a branch (or a fork for that matter) was to use an external client to merge in upstream changes and push back to GitHub.
I worked on a project with several non-developer users updating content. The web interface works well for simple HTML/CSS changes, but if we developers moved or renamed a file, their forks would immediately be useless. This feature should make that a non-issue.
- brandonwamboldt 11y agoI kind of wish you could merge or rebase as part of the "Update Branch" feature. I don't allow merging master into the feature branches for any project I manage, I insist that developers rebase their branches before they get merged instead.
