FAQ
What branch naming conventions does this tool support?
The tool generates names in several popular formats: type/ticket-desc (Git Flow style), flat type-ticket-desc, ticket-first ticket/desc, underscore-separated, and namespaced user/type/desc. This covers the most common conventions used by teams worldwide.
Why should I use consistent branch naming?
Consistent branch names make it easier to identify work at a glance in pull requests, CI pipelines, and git logs. They also enable automation such as auto-linking branches to Jira or GitHub Issues, and help enforce team workflows.
How does the tool handle special characters and accents?
The generator automatically normalizes Unicode text, strips accents, removes special characters, collapses repeated separators, and trims leading or trailing separators. This ensures the output is a valid git branch name on all platforms.
What is the recommended maximum branch name length?
Git allows branch names up to 255 characters, but most teams use 40-80 characters for readability. The default in this tool is 60 characters, which balances descriptiveness with brevity. The truncation respects word boundaries when possible.
Can I use this for Jira, GitHub Issues, or Linear tickets?
Yes. The ticket number field accepts any format such as PROJ-123, GH-456, or LIN-789. The tool does not enforce a specific format, so it works with any project management tool that uses ticket identifiers.
Is any data sent to a server?
No. All generation happens entirely in your browser. Your descriptions, ticket numbers, and generated branch names are never sent to any external server. The tool works fully offline once loaded.
Does this tool support Git Flow conventions?
Yes. The type/ticket-desc format follows Git Flow naming with feature/, bugfix/, hotfix/, and release/ prefixes. You can also use chore/, refactor/, docs/, test/, and ci/ for a more granular convention.
