Generate descriptive git branch names from plain English. Use when you need a branch name that follows conventions. Use when this capability is needed.
Naming branches is harder than it should be. Is it feature/user-auth or feat/add-user-authentication? This tool generates consistent, conventional branch names from plain English descriptions.
One command. Zero config. Just works.
npx ai-branch "add user authentication with OAuth"
# Get a branch name suggestion
npx ai-branch "fix the login button not working on mobile"
# Create the branch immediately
npx ai-branch "add dark mode support" --create
# Use a specific prefix
npx ai-branch "update dependencies" --prefix chore
# Include ticket number
npx ai-branch "user profile page crashes on load" --ticket PROJ-123
