How to create a branch from a given commit in the Stash UI?

[Neil]

Given a certain commit, that is not referenced by an existing branch or tag, is it possible to create a new branch from that commit?

I know you can do this from Git...

I know you can also do this using the Branch Utils in the Stash API...

But I am specifically asking if it is possible to do this from the Stash UI itself?

I can branch from a tag or another branch, but I can't figure out how to branch from a little ol' commit hash.

Thanks

It can be done through the web UI.

When viewing the commit, add a tag (right hand side).

Click on the commit to view the commit history, then click the ellipsis next to the tag name and choose "Create branch from here"

Good tip! 

A clarification for the latest UI though (I couldn't find the things you describe)...

"Click on the commit to view the commit history, then click the ellipsis next to the tag name and choose "Create branch from here"

When you've created a tag, and need to create a branch from that tag, simply do this...

• Go to "Branches"
• Click "Create Branch" (top right)
• In the popup window, use the "Branch from" dropdown to select your tag
• Add a name for your branch and click "Create"

I had the same need, and this post helped me create a branch with the specific commit I wanted, in minutes! Thanks a ton.

You cannot do this from the Stash web UI, it only allows you to create branches at the tip of another branch.
