Semantic Branch Names

See how a minor change to your branch name style can make you a better programmer.

Format: <type>/#<issueNumber>-<alias>

Example

feature/#1-init
^------^   ^---^
|          |
|          +---> issue's keyword
|
+-------> Type: or feat, chore, docs, fix, refactor, style, or test.

More Examples:

• feat or feature: (new feature for the user, not a new feature for build script)
• fix: (bug fix for the user, not a fix to a build script)
• docs: (changes to the documentation)
• style: (formatting, missing semi colons, etc; no production code change)
• refactor: (refactoring production code, eg. renaming a variable)
• test: (adding missing tests, refactoring tests; no production code change)
• chore: (updating grunt tasks etc; no production code change)

I recommend this prepare-commit-msg

start

• repository

cp prepare-commit-msg .git/hooks/prepare-commit-msg
chmod a+x .git/hooks/prepare-commit-msg

• global

mkdir -p ~/.git-templates/hooks
git config --global init.templatedir '~/.git-templates'
cp prepare-commit-msg ~/.git-templates/hooks/prepare-commit-msg
chmod a+x ~/.git-templates/hooks/prepare-commit-msg

# each repository
git init

example

git commit -m "feat: add prepare-commit-msg"

branch: feature/DT-1252_#3_prepare-commit-msg
commit: [DT-1252] (#3) feat: add prepare-commit-msg

branch: feature/DT-1252_prepare-commit-msg
commit: [DT-1252] feat: add prepare-commit-msg

branch: feature/#3_prepare-commit-msg
commit: (#3) feat: add prepare-commit-msg

git commit -m 'feat: add prepare-commit-msg' -> branch :feature/DT-1252_#3_prepare-commit-msg

commit: [DT-1252] (#3) feat: add prepare-commit-msg

Hello!

If I'm creating a POC or studying something before start making a feature, what type this branch should be?
