Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
Prebuild pages no longer have a "new workspace from prebuild button" and the "New Workspace" screen lets you choose a repo but not a branch. The comments in PR's are the only easy way to start a workspace on a branch now.
Describe the behaviour you'd like
Priority 1 would be adding a branch selector to the Start Workspace screen.
Priority 2 would be restoring a "Start Workspace from Prebuild" button to the Prebuild screen, or just have that on the latest prebuild and have a link from each old prebuild to the latest.

Hi @nhorton 👋,
we removed the "run workspace from prebuild" buttons from the prebuild UIs because the feature was causing a lot of confusion and was technically challenging, where most users would land on older git states defeating most of prebuilds' benefits.
For starting workspaces from a specific branch, I would recommend you to try out our browser extension, which adds a Gitpod button to GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket to open PRs or branch URLs directly in Gitpod. Alternatively, you can prefix a branch / PR URL with gitpod.io/# and it will create a workspace tied to the correct one.
This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.
