Description

@lex57ukr

Goal

Align the project’s branch naming guidelines with GitHub’s default branch naming when creating branches directly from issues.

Scope

  • Document GitHub’s default issue-based branch naming pattern:
    <issue-number>-<issue-title-slug>
  • Update contributor guidelines to recommend using GitHub-generated branch names when branching from issues
  • Deprecate the previously used issue-NN- prefix in favor of the default pattern
  • Ensure examples in documentation reflect the updated convention

Outcome

  • Branch naming is consistent with GitHub’s tooling
  • No manual renaming or workaround is required
  • Contributors can rely on GitHub UI defaults without ambiguity

Notes

  • Branch naming is not configurable at the repository or organization level in GitHub
  • This change is a documentation and convention update only
