awesome-branch-name

Easily generate warm, crunchy branch names. Perfect for people who enjoy a cheesy, flakey branch, but don't always have the energy to come up with a good name.

Install

Install globally to generate delicious branch names with maximum efficiency.

$ npm install -g awesome-branch-name
$ awesome-branch-name

Usage

Print an awesome branch name.

$ awesome-branch-name

Or, you can run using npx (so portable!).

$ npx awesome-branch-name

Immediately checkout a new, flavorful branch.

$ git checkout -b `awesome-branch-name`

If you want a prefix, do it yourself.

$ git checkout -b "dev/`awesome-branch-name`"

If your branch has a particular focus, you can provide an optional subject on the command line, which will be baked into the output.

$ git checkout -b "dev/`awesome-branch-name MyNewFeature`"

Save it in your .bashrc and use it everyday.

branch() {
  git checkout "dev/`awesome-branch-name $1`"
}

Or if you prefer npx, make sure to specify -q.

branch() {
  git checkout "dev/`npx -q awesome-branch-name $1`"
}
