How do I set a default repository when I click "Create Branch"

[Kevin Cauchi]

How do I set a default repository when clicking on "Create Branch" ? Can't seem to find the option anywhere!

Many thanks!

I see that many users have brought this up over the years.  Is there some reason why it's still not answered?  I have the same problem, and it seems like the feature is essentially broken because of this.

Does anyone have an answer to this? I don't see that it's an option anywhere.

Hey guys!

Same problem here, my team works on many projects and having to choose the project every time to create a new branch is very tiring.

Any News on this topic?

New devs tend to select the wrong repo, when creating new branches, as we are working in several projects simultaneously.

@Kevin CauchiI have the same issue, have you found a solution?

[Kevin Cauchi]

Not sure how but its automatically choosing my correct repo... Maybe it remembers or something

Hi @Kevin Cauchi ,

welcome to the Atlassian community!

The default branch can be set at repository level. You need to be repo admin.

[Your Repository] >> Settings >> General >> Repository details >> Update repository details >> Main branch.

Hope this helps,

Fabio

Hi @Fabio Racobaldo _Catworkx_ , 

Thanks for your reply. However, the solution you mentioned is for the default branch. I am asking for the default repository when creating a branch.

Hi @Fabio Racobaldo _Catworkx_ , is there a way to select default Bitbucket repository for a Jira project, please? My Bitbucket is aware what Jira project belongs to it. But during branche creation from Jira ticket I have to choose from all existing repositories.
