Git Flow Branch Creator
github/awesome-copilotOfficial
A straightforward automation for Git Flow branching that actually reads your git status and diff output to figure out what type of branch you need. It analyzes your file changes against concrete criteria (new features vs security fixes vs version bumps) and creates the appropriate feature/, hotfix/, or release- branch following nvie's Git Flow model. Saves you from manually deciding branch types and generates semantic names like "feature/user-authentication" or "hotfix/security-patch". Works well if you're already committed to Git Flow but tired of the mental overhead of categorizing changes and following naming conventions.
