Git Branch Name Generator

Generate clean, conventional git branch names from issue titles or descriptions. Supports 10 prefixes (feature, fix, hotfix, bugfix, chore, docs, refactor, test, ci, release), 3 separators (slash, dash, underscore), optional issue numbers, configurable max length, and automatic stop-word removal. Validates branch names against git rules. Runs entirely in your browser — your data never leaves your machine.

git branch naming convention generator workflow

Published May 31, 2026

All interactive tools run entirely in your browser. Your data never leaves your device.

How It Works

Enter an issue title or description and the tool generates a clean, kebab-case git branch name. Stop words (the, and, or, etc.) are automatically removed. Choose your prefix, separator style, and optionally include an issue number. The generated name is validated against git’s branch naming rules.

Features

10 branch prefixes: feature, fix, hotfix, bugfix, chore, docs, refactor, test, ci, release (plus custom)
3 separator styles: slash (/), dash (-), underscore (_)
Issue number: optionally include GitHub/GitLab issue number (strips # prefix)
Stop word removal: automatically removes common English stop words for cleaner names
Max length: configurable 20-120 characters with smart truncation
Git validation: validates against git branch naming rules (no .lock, no .., no special chars)
Quick commands: shows ready-to-use git checkout -b and git push -u commands
One-click copy: copy generated branch name to clipboard
5 examples: feature with issue, bug fix, hotfix, refactor, release
Private: all computation runs in your browser — no data transmitted
