About the Git Branch Name Generator
Git branch names cannot contain spaces or many special characters, so turning a ticket title or a quick description into a valid branch name by hand is fiddly and error prone.
This tool does it instantly: it removes accents, strips invalid characters, replaces spaces with a separator, collapses repeats, and adds a conventional prefix like feature/ or bugfix/ so the result is always a valid, tidy branch name.
Everything runs in your browser, so your text and ticket titles never leave your device.

Frequently asked questions
- What makes a Git branch name invalid?
- Git branch names cannot contain spaces, or characters like ~ ^ : ? * [ or backslashes, cannot contain '..', and cannot begin or end with a slash or dot. This tool removes all of those automatically.
- Can I use slashes for prefixes like feature/login?
- Yes. Choose a prefix such as feature/ or bugfix/ and it is added in front of your slugified text, which is the common Git branching convention.
- Is there a length limit?
- Git references can be up to 255 characters. The tool shows a live count and trims the result if it would exceed that.
- Is my text sent anywhere?
- No. The conversion happens entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
