Re:Git Branch Naming Conventions on Friday May 01, 2020 @04:02PM (#23045968)
What about the more common naming convention of using slash-separated branch names, which Git inherently understands? Git stores branches in .git/refs so by using slash-separators you capitalize on Git's behavior to keep branches in directories together. You can read more at https://git-scm.com/docs/user-manual#how-git-stores-referenc... and "Git - Branches in a Nutshell" is one of the must-read references: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Branching-Branches-in-a-N...
