Git Branch

Create a new branch from the latest main branch using the project's naming convention.

Arguments

The user may provide arguments in the format: <type>/<description>

• •type — one of feat, fix, or chore
• •description — short kebab-case description (e.g., add-map-clustering)

If not provided, ask the user for the branch type and description.

Process

1. •Fetch latest main:

git fetch origin main

1. •

   Determine branch name:

   • •If the user provided arguments (e.g., /git-branch feat/add-map-clustering), use them directly.
   • •Otherwise, ask the user for:
     • •Branch type: feat, fix, or chore
     • •Short description: a brief kebab-case slug describing the work
   • •Construct the branch name as {type}/{slug} (e.g., feat/add-map-clustering).
2. •

   Create and switch to the new branch:

git checkout -b {branch_name} origin/main

1. •Confirm by reporting the new branch name to the user.

Rules

• •Branch names MUST follow the {type}/{slug} convention.
• •Valid types are feat, fix, and chore only.
• •The slug MUST be kebab-case (lowercase, hyphens, no spaces or underscores).
• •Always branch from origin/main, never from the current branch.
• •Do NOT push the branch — just create it locally.
