Choosing a proper name for a branch helps us identify its purpose and possibly find an associated bug or feature. Generally a branch name should include a topic such as bugfix or feature followed by a description and an issue number if applicable. Branches should have only changes relevant to a specific issue.

git checkout -b bugfix/service-template-typo-1234
git checkout -b feature/config-handling-1235
