When soloing, automatically solo the tracked remote branch

20 votes

I love the solo feature and use it a lot. One thing that would be useful, is if the solo feature automatically included the tracked remote branch in the solo, or if there was a way to easily do this (eg right-click the solo'd branch and select "solo tracked remotes").

I came here to add this specific request. I think it may be an option to sync soloing of remote and local branches, maybe even a right click option in the menu on the branch: "solo origin\branch", but this would be HUGELY beneficial. I spend a lot of time trying to find the remote branch just to add it to a solo set.

Another option would be to show all branches and tags on the currently solo-ed branches, both local and remote. I am going to add a feature request for this, because I would love to see both these options.

Indeed, the hassle of filtering and selecting relevant branches slows us down.
Usually you want to select 4 branches when solo-ing.
i.e. your development branch and your feature branch , both locally and remotely.

And that's really the starting point of everything I do with gitkraken.
Anything that speeds up this process is more than welcome.

Alternatively, if we could open gitkraken from the CLI with a parameter,
then that would open the door to scripting to automate the process.

e.g.
`gitkraken.exe ... --solo="feature/foo" --solo="origin/feature/foo"` --solo="development" --solo="origin/development"
