Yeah, I've had problems by using '/' on branch names. When you have something like origin/jira/PROJ1-123/DoThisThing, some commands don't like.
If there's no good reason to do that, just don't.
- Ayesh 6y agoI'm starting to like slashes in branch names. They are so easy to visually grasp a list of branches. Do you recall any of the problems you had? I'm frequently using checkout/rebase/merge workflow and never had any problems. But I always felt I am not using all features got had to offer.
- halostatue 6y agoI had a recent situation where someone had created a branch called `something/some-reason` and I had a branch called `something` that already existed locally. I was unable to check out `something/some-reason` because `something` already existed as a file. Slashes in branch names are BAD ideas and should be avoided.
