What branch naming conventions do you use in your team?

We're trying to reduce the chaos in how Git branches are named across our team. Ideally, we’d like to align it with our Jira workflow.

Do you follow a standard structure?
Do you automate naming, or rely on devs to do it manually?
How do you encourage consistency?

Looking for real-life practices, tools or tips that help. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the Atlassian Community @Emily Rhodes !

Short answer no. We name our branches using the issue number_featuredeveloped(abc-123_sprintcolorrequired

Each team name their features the way that make sense. The one advice is consistency in the naming convention.

Best,
