# Conventional Branch Create Git branches that follow the [Conventional Branch](https://conventional-branch.github.io) specification — a simple, consistent convention for naming Git branches. ## Branch Name Format ``` <type>/<description> ``` ### Branch Types | Type | Alias | Purpose | |------|-------|---------| | `feature/` | `feat/` | New features or enhancements | | `bugfix/` | `fix/` | Bug fixes | | `hotfix/` | — | Urgent production fixes | | `release/` | — | Release preparation (dots allowed in version: `release/v1.2.0`) | | `chore/` | — | Non-code tasks (deps, docs, config) | ### Trunk Branches `main`, `master`, and `develop` are trunk branches — they do not use a prefix. Never create new branches with the same names as trunk branches; branch off them instead. ## Naming Rules - **Lowercase only** — no uppercase letters anywhere - **Alphanumerics, hyphens, and dots** — `a-z`, `0-9`, `-`, `.` - **Dots allowed only** in `release/` version descriptions (e.g., `release/v1.2.0`) - **No underscores, spaces, or special characters** - **No consecutive hyphens** (`--`), **dots** (`..`), or **hyphen-dot adjacency** (`-.` or `.-`) - **No leading or trailing hyphens or dots** in the descr
