# Create Branch Create a git branch with the correct type prefix and a descriptive name following Sentry conventions. ## When to Use - You need to create a new git branch that follows the repository's naming convention. - You are starting a new piece of work from the default branch and need help classifying it as `feat`, `fix`, `docs`, or another branch type. - You want the branch name proposed from either the task description or the current local diff. ## Step 1: Get the Username Prefix Run `gh api user --jq .login` to get the GitHub username. If the command fails (e.g. not authenticated), ask the user for their preferred prefix. ## Step 2: Determine the Branch Description **If `$ARGUMENTS` is provided**, use it as the description of the work. **If no arguments**, check for local changes: ```bash git diff git diff --cached git status --short ``` - **Changes exist**: read the diff content to understand what the work is about and generate a description. - **No changes**: ask the user what they are about to work on. ## Step 3: Classify the Type Pick the type from this table based on the description: | Type | Use when | | --------- | ---------------------------------------------------
