Add an option to pull environment variables from a specific Environment and Git Branch

[Robin-Ln]

Currently we can Add a new variable for a specific Environment and Git Branch with this commande :

$ vercel env add <name> <production | preview | development> <gitbranch>
$ vercel env add DB_PASS preview feat1

But after we can't pull the variables for a specific Environment and Git Branch.

My proposal is to add an option to do so, for example:

vercel pull --environment preview --gitbranch staging

Good news! The --git-branch option is available on vc pull and vc env pull in vercel@28.9.0.

Now you can use vercel pull --environment=preview --git-branch=staging to get preview environment variables specifically for the staging branch. 🎉

I'm using vercel@28.10.1 and it does not work. It doesn't show up in the -h either.

Vercel CLI 28.10.1

  ▲ vercel pull [project-path]

 Options:

    -h, --help                     Output usage information
    -A FILE, --local-config=FILE   Path to the local `vercel.json` file
    -Q DIR, --global-config=DIR    Path to the global `.vercel` directory
    -d, --debug                    Debug mode [off]
    --environment [environment]    Deployment environment [development]
    -y, --yes                      Skip questions when setting up new project using default scope and settings

It exists here.

yarn vercel pull --yes --environment=preview --git-branch="feature/tre-36-update-github-actions" --token=$VERCEL_TOKEN

I run this command.

Then when using vercel build it does not include the branch specific env var.

It doesn't show up in the generated .env.preview.local file either.

Why not add this as an option to vercel deploy as well?
