SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Creates isolated feature branches to prevent changes from leaking into main and to enable clean, review-friendly feature work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Detects the most relevant base branch (main or master) and prompts when ambiguous.
  • Creates a new feature or fix branch with a conventional naming pattern (feature/<name> or fix/<name>).
  • Performs optional project setup steps (dependencies installation) and verifies a clean baseline via tests.
  • Provides clear status reports about branch readiness and next steps for implementation.

Quick Start

Create an isolated feature branch for your current task and run the automatic setup and tests.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create an isolated feature branch for new work?

To create an isolated feature branch, the system detects your base branch, creates a conventionally named feature or fix branch, runs project setup, and validates a clean test baseline to ensure a reproducible starting point.

Why use feature branches to isolate changes in a git workflow?

Using feature branches prevents changes from leaking into main lines and enables clean, review-friendly feature work by keeping new development separate from the main baseline until it is ready.

Can I automatically run tests and setup when starting a new git branch?

Yes, after creating the feature branch, the workflow performs optional project setup steps like installing dependencies and automatically verifies a clean baseline by running tests to confirm branch readiness.

How does the branch automation handle ambiguous base branches like main or master?

When the base branch is ambiguous, the automation detects the most relevant base branch, such as main or master, and prompts the user to select the correct one before creating the new feature or fix branch.

Does the branch creation workflow enforce specific naming conventions?

Yes, the workflow enforces conventional naming patterns when creating branches, automatically applying formats like feature/<name> or fix/<name> to ensure consistent feature branch isolation and repository tracking.
