Git Branch Creator

This script can be used to create a git branch with a simplified name

E.g Given JIRA 12212 FE - Consumer Portal - Pay now/Payment methods/Order details the script will convert it to jira-12212-fe-consumer-portal-pay-now-payment-methods-order-details and create a git branch with that name in the current directory.

For more examples, see the tests in the spec directory.

Configuration

Create a config file at ~/git_branch_creator.yml with your JIRA credentials:

username: "your-email@example.com"
password: "your-api-token"
apiHost: "https://your-company.atlassian.net"

Ensure the file has secure permissions:

chmod 600 ~/git_branch_creator.yml
