Frequently Asked Questions

Why use slashes?
Git treats slashes as directory separators, allowing you to group branches logically (e.g., all `feature/*` branches).
Can I use spaces?
No, spaces are not allowed in git branch names. Use hyphens or underscores.
What is a "chore" branch?
Usually for maintenance tasks that don't change production code, like updating dependencies.

💡 Tips

  • Keep branch names short but descriptive.
  • Include the ticket ID to automatically link to your project management tool.
