Do you use your foot brake, hand brake both or just let the clutch out and gas at the same time?
Using like 1 finger, you can keep the bike from rolling with the front brake. Give it a little throttle and start to release the clutch. With the clutch, slightly engaged, you can hold the bike on the hill without the brakes, so just release the clutch and give it throttle.

I use this procedure Put the front brake on fully, have my back brake foot on the floor. Pull in the clutch and put the bike in first gear. Swap feet (note: clutch is still in) Release the front brake and start to apply the throttle Let the clutch out slowly and when the clutch bites, release the foot brake, once the bike is moving then drive as normal.
One or two fingers on the front brake lever. Only a small amount of force on the lever is needed to prevent from rolling backwards. Your thumb, palm and a few fingers will give you enough grip to twist the throttle and hold on to the handlebars until you get moving. Attempting to start moving with one foot on the brake pedal is a recipe for disaster if you lose a little control and start to tip over. Your foot cannot do two things at once, only one. Either on the brake pedal, or on the ground for balance.
