# Creating a feature/bug branch
|
|
|
|
When you are working on a bug, feature, or improvement, you will need to create
|
|
a branch.
|
|
|
|
Branches names should be prefixed with your own GitHub username. If they have an
|
|
associated issue, the issue ID should be added as a suffix. For example:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
git checkout -b USERNAME/that-new-feature-1234
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
git checkout -b USERNAME/fixing-that-bug-1234
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
where `USERNAME` should be replaced by your username on GitHub and `1234` is the
|
|
ID of the issue tied to your pull request. If there is no related issue, you can
|
|
leave the number out.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: It is ok if your branch name shows up as
|
|
`USERNAME:USERNAME/fixing-that-bug-1234` when you create the pull request
|
