speckit-git-validate

You can validate Git feature branch naming conventions by running a validation command that checks the current branch name against predefined sequential or timestamp patterns. This ensures branch names follow predictable formats for better code organization.

Branch naming validation works with spec-kit project structures by requiring a .specify/ directory. The validator checks branch naming patterns and verifies the existence of the corresponding spec directory within the spec-kit structure.

You can enforce sequential or timestamp patterns for Git feature branch naming. The validation process checks the current branch name against these predefined patterns to maintain consistency across the repository.

Branch validation fails when the spec directory is missing because the validator confirms the existence of the corresponding spec directory for the branch. A .specify/ directory is required for the validation to pass successfully.

You can check if your current Git branch matches the required naming format by running the validation command. It evaluates the branch name against sequential or timestamp patterns and verifies the corresponding spec directory exists.

The best way to maintain consistent Git branch naming in a team is to use an automated validation tool that checks branch names against predefined patterns. This ensures all feature branches follow the same sequential or timestamp naming conventions.
