FAQPage Schema
How do I automatically create and switch to a new Git feature branch?▼

To automatically create a Git feature branch, this skill creates and switches to a new branch for a given specification, ensuring consistent naming and optional sequential or timestamp-based numbering.

Can I use a custom naming convention when creating a Git feature branch?▼

Yes, you can override the automatic Git feature branch naming by setting the GIT_BRANCH_NAME environment variable to your desired custom branch name before execution.

How does sequential feature branch numbering work in Git automation?▼

Sequential feature branch numbering automatically increments a feature number for each new Git branch, outputting the FEATURE_NUM variable so downstream automation tasks can track the current sequence.

What is the best way to pass a generated Git branch name to downstream CI/CD automation?▼

The best way to pass a generated Git branch name to downstream automation is by using the BRANCH_NAME output variable provided after the feature branch is created and switched to.

Does this Git branch automation support timestamp-based numbering?▼

Yes, this Git branch automation supports timestamp-based numbering as an alternative to sequential numbering, allowing you to generate unique feature branches based on the current time.
