Ability to configure naming convention when creating branch from issue

56 votes

At the current state of the app on integration with JIRA/GitHub/Trello when clicking on create branch for an issue the app automatically generate a name according to specific template (ticket number+description with underscored space).

I would like to have the ability to define the template for the generated branch name.

I just complained about this and was directed to this suggestion. I don't know why the feature was changed to automatically name the branch....

I agree. The current default name conflicts with the gitflow and branch foldering features.

This would be specially helpful for GitHub integrations (such as ClickUp) that track for exact strings (case sensitive and/or with special characters)

This would be a HUGE help instead of relying on our users to manually modify the generated branch name to fit the convention that our company has established. We actually preface all of our "Work Item" branches with "wi/" (Ex. wi/1234_PascalCaseOfShortenedWorkItemDescription) so they show in a subfolder as a group that can be collapsed, and prioritize our top-level branches which are used for deployments to multiple environments.

It'd be great if the template could specify that you want the branch could be prefixed with a the jira ticket type i.e. bug/<branch-name> or story/<branch-name> or task/<branch-name>
