Create Feature Branch

This skill creates feature branches following the project's Git Flow strategy.

Branch Naming Convention

Workflow

1. Ensure clean working directory

Copygit status

If there are uncommitted changes, ask user how to handle them.

2. Update develop branch

Copygit checkout develop
git pull origin develop

3. Create feature branch

Format: {prefix}/issue-{number}-{short-description}

Copygit checkout -b feat/issue-{NUMBER}-{DESCRIPTION}

4. Confirm creation

Copygit branch --show-current

Checklist

• Working directory is clean
• develop branch is up to date
• Branch name follows convention
• Branch is created from develop

Example

For Issue #88 (add return mode):

Copygit checkout develop
git pull origin develop
git checkout -b feat/issue-88-return-mode

Notes

• Always branch from develop, not main
• Include issue number in branch name for traceability
• Use lowercase with hyphens for descriptions
