Branching with Vercel
Hi everyone!!!
I finally moved from Supabase to Neon and I'm very happy about it. One of the reasons I wanted to move: simplicity with branching.
Can you tell me, when integrating with Vercel, is it possible to set the parameters by which a new branch will be created as if we create manually via new branch?

Hi Mahmoud,
In your branching tutorial, you mentioned that we can create branches by selecting a time slot or log—is that still an option on the dashboard? And with Vercel integration, I understand it automatically copies the target branch without options for custom rules, correct?
I’d love your advice on setting up branches that match the main branch schema but without full production data. Would you suggest using seed scripts or setting up a preview/staging branch (feature => preview/staging => main) to keep main isolated?
Thanks so much for any thoughts!

You would need to set up your own CI pipeline. The reason being is that the integration currently doesn't allow you to pick a branch other then the default Neon branch as a parent. It's also not possible to create a branch without data
