possibility to name the branch NuKeeper makes for adding the updates

Contextualize the feature

By naming the branch NuKeeper creates, it is possible to make several runs of NuKeeper
contribute to the same pullrequest.
Also it makes it possible to have a coherent naming of branches that belong to each other:
Nuget code updated for "AwsomeFeature". For all NuKeeper updates of this nuget the branch/pullrequest can also be named "AwsomeFeature"

Describe the feature

If the branchname is given, NuKeeper should check if this branch exists and skip creating the branch, if not, it should create the branch with the given name.
If the pullrequest exists on given branch NuKeeper should skip creating the pullrequest.

This is already possible with the branchNamePrefix parameter? https://nukeeper.com/basics/configuration/

[MaxMommersteeg]

I don't think that is the feature that @StephanTuinder wants. Say you have a working branch named feature/foo he wants to explicitly target the branch for NuKeeper updates. He doesn't only want to add a prefix to generated branch name, but also to just specify the branch name that gets created entirely.

@MaxMommersteeg Correct

[MaxMommersteeg]

Besides from more control over branch naming, does this introduce any other functionality that isn't available right now with target branch option?

[Chama-StephanTuinder]

targetbranch option selects the branch Nukeeper will run against. I propose a feature with which you can determine what the branch nukeeper creates and updates will be named.

It would be great as we have branch name checks for Pull Requests.
