If I specify, please take a branch of the current branch I'm on, or please take a branch from 'integration' and call it 'banana', it disregards that and branches from the default (master) branch with whatever name it fancies.\n\nIt would be nice if it either listened or had some specific post '/delegate' prompts like 'what source branch would you like to use \u003cselection\u003e', and 'what would you like to call the new branch'?\n\n### Affected version\n\nGitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.27\n\n### Steps to reproduce the behavior\n\n1. Type '/delegate Make this app say 'hello world' in the console. Please branch from the 'development' branch and NOT master, call your branch 'hello'.\n2. Watch it ignore you (assuming your repo is set up with default branch 'master'), and branch from master anyway\n\n### Expected behavior\n\nIt should branch from at least the branch you're on when you call the 'delegate' command, and ideally allow you to specify.\n\n### Additional context\n\n_No response_","author":{"url":"https://github.com/mip1983","@type":"Person","name":"mip1983"},"datePublished":"2026-04-15T13:34:04.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":3},"url":"https://github.com/2729/copilot-cli/issues/2729"}
