branchify

Command line utility for quickly creating branch names.

Usage

Usage of branchify:
  -ns string
        prefixed to the branch name to namespace it
  -nsSep string
        seperator used to join the namespace and the branch name (default "@")
  -sep string

Examples

Simple usage

$ branchify foo bar baz
foo-bar-baz

Using all the options

foobarbaz

As part of a git alias

$ git cbc foo bar baz
christianscott@foo-bar-baz
