# Naming Branches

Branch naming should make intent obvious at a glance.

## Simple Pattern

Use:

- `feature/short-name`
- `fix/short-name`
- `chore/short-name`
- `docs/short-name`
- `release/version` when the repo uses release branches

## Rules

- keep names short and readable
- use lowercase with hyphens
- avoid ticket-only names with no intent
- do not encode personal workstation details into branch names
