How To Change Base Branch For Pull Requests

By default, Amplication will create pull requests from the amplication branch into your repository's base branch. This is usually main or master for many repositories.

It's possible to change the base branch that Amplication uses for pull requests. This allows you to merge changes into a different branch.

For example, you may want pull requests to merge into a development branch first before your main branch.
