Project - Move issue from one column to another

Question

Overview:

I have created a Project under a GitHub repository and added some custom columns Ready, In Progress and Done

Goal:

• I would like to move the issue from Ready to In Progress when a branch is created for that issue.
• Example: If I have an issue #10 in Ready and I create a branch from master called #10-FixBug then I would like issue #10 to move from Ready to In Progress.

Questions:

• How would I be able to do this ?
• I don't see any built in automation preset for this, can I customise the project automation to achieve this goal ?
• Do I need to create a web hook ? (I was under the impression web hook is mainly for 3rd party tools.) If so how should I configure for GitHub to pick the event changes (is there a link?)

Note:

• I am only using GitHub to manage my project, I am not using 3rd party tools such as Jira / Waffle or others

Answer 1

Just heard from GitHub support that this is not currently supported. I have passed it as a feedback as nice to have.
