Summary
- Automatically links branches to GitHub issues when an issue number is provided, using gh issue develop for seamless project tracking
- Intelligently applies semantic prefixes (feature/, bugfix/, hotfix/, chore/, docs/) based on keywords in the branch name
- Validates branch names for kebab-case formatting, forbidden characters, length limits, and duplicate detection across local and remote branches
- Detects project language conventions from existing branches and commit messages to maintain consistency
- Recommends base branch selection (main or master) and offers remote push with tracking setup for collaboration
