Naming policy

A useful team convention usually communicates purpose: feature/login-page, fix/cache-key, chore/update-deps. Keep names short enough for terminals and pull-request UIs.

Git ref rules

Git branch names cannot contain several characters and sequences, including spaces and certain ref syntax. A team policy can be stricter than Git itself.

Migration tip

Validate existing names before tightening a policy. For new work, enforce the convention at issue templates, hooks or CI rather than relying only on memory.
