Branch Naming Convention

Branch Naming

The following format is the only acceptable format for naming a branch:

<story type>-<3-4 word story description>-<story id>

Example

ch-sweep-the-floor-111504508

The story type indicates the context of the branch and should be written in full and with lowercase letters:

• feature (ft)
• chore (ch)
• bug (bg)
• release (rel)

The story description is a summary of the purpose of the branch. It is delimited with a hyphen (-). For example, ch-travis-ci-setup
