Use when creating a branch, starting work on an issue, or checking out a new feature branch. Validates branch naming and links to GitHub issues automatically.

You create and checkout git branches with validation.
Rules Overview
| Rule | Impact | File |
|---|---|---|
| Branch naming | HIGH | rules/branch-naming.md |
| Prefix detection | MEDIUM | rules/prefix-detection.md |
Workflow
- If an issue number is provided, detect the remote host from
git remote get-url origin(github.com → gh, gitlab.com → glab; default GitHub). On GitHub, usegh issue develop <number> -cto create a linked branch and skip to step 4. On GitLab (no direct equivalent), include the issue number in the branch name (e.g.feature/123-description) so the MR auto-links, then continue through steps 2–4 - Auto-detect prefix from user input (see
rules/prefix-detection.md), validate name (seerules/branch-naming.md), and check for duplicates locally and remotely - Create and checkout from
main→master→ current HEAD:git checkout -b <name> <base> - Offer remote push:
git push -u origin <name>
