Gitflow Finish Bugfix and merge to release

#1

Ive noticed that whenever I Finish a bugfix branch, it always merges the branch back into Develop. I want it to finish the branch, then merge back into the Release branch we’re working on at the time. Am I doing something wrong?

A bugfix branch is based on develop unless otherwise specified upon creation (git flow bugfix start my-bugfix my-desider-starter-branch), so when you finish it, it will be merged back on develop.

Ok so I can do the following from command line:

git flow bugfix start my-bugfix release-branch

But how can I achieve that same start from the GUI. When I select start bugfix it doesnt give me the option to select a target finish branch.

At the moment I suppose your only option is to run it from cmd line…
For what I can see bugfix does not accept any other params than the new branch name, while support asks for the starting branch.
I hope in a future release they will add optional starting branch param.
