About Git Branch Naming

Consistent branch naming conventions make repositories easier to navigate, enable automation, and communicate intent clearly. Common conventions: feature/description for new features, fix/description or bugfix/description for bug fixes, hotfix/description for urgent production fixes, release/version for release branches. Including ticket IDs (JIRA-123, GH-456) links branches to issue trackers.

Branch names should be lowercase, use hyphens not spaces, be descriptive but concise, and avoid special characters except hyphens and slashes. Many Git hosting platforms (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket) use branch names in PR/MR URLs and automatically link ticket IDs to project management tools.

FAQ

Should I include the ticket number in the branch name?
Yes, when using an issue tracker. Including the ticket number links the branch to the ticket, enables automatic branch creation from tickets in Jira/Linear, lets GitHub auto-link PRs to issues, and makes it easy to find branches for specific features when searching. Conventional format: feature/TICKET-123-short-description.
