Branch Name Generator: Streamline Your Git Workflow

Keeping Git branch names consistent and meaningful is crucial for team collaboration, especially when working with Jira tasks. Our Branch Name Generator browser extension simplifies this process by automatically creating precise branch names tied to your Jira tickets.

Why Consistent Branch Names Matter

• Clarity: Descriptive names help teammates understand the purpose of each branch at a glance.
• Traceability: Linking branches to Jira tickets creates clear audit trails.
• Automation: Standardized names work better with CI/CD pipelines and other tools.

How Our Extension Works

When viewing a Jira ticket, the extension automatically suggests a properly formatted branch name following these conventions:

• Includes the Jira ticket key (e.g., PROJ-123)
• Adds a short, kebab-case description (e.g., update-login-page)
• Optionally includes the ticket type (feature/bugfix/hotfix)

Key Features

• One-click branch name generation from any Jira ticket
• Customizable naming conventions to match your team's workflow
• Copy to clipboard functionality for immediate use
• Supports all major browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge)

Example Output

For a Jira ticket titled "PROJ-123 Update login page validation":

feature/PROJ-123-update-login-page-validation

By standardizing your branch naming approach, our tool helps reduce confusion and keeps your repository organized throughout the development lifecycle.
