Branch Naming

What is Branch Naming?
Branch naming conventions give structure to how branches are labeled, often including a prefix like feature/, bugfix/, or hotfix/ followed by a short description. Consistent naming makes it easy to identify a branch's purpose at a glance and helps automate workflows that trigger based on branch name patterns. Teams often document their convention in a contributing guide so everyone follows the same format.
