gibr

gibr is a command‑line tool that streamlines the creation of Git branch names by linking the workflow directly to an issue tracker. It can list open issues, generate a descriptive branch name based on a chosen issue, create the branch from a base reference, check it out, and optionally push it to the remote repository—all in a single command sequence.

The utility is aimed at developers who work with trackers such as GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Azure DevOps, Linear, Monday.dev, or YouTrack and want a repeatable naming convention without manual string assembly. Configuration is stored in a `.gibrconfig` file, allowing users to customize the branch name format and default push behavior, while optional tracker‑specific dependencies keep the installation lightweight.

Installation is performed via pip or uv, and the tool supports optional extras for each supported tracker. An interactive `gibr init` command bootstraps the configuration, and a `gibr alias` command can create Git aliases for smoother integration into existing workflows.
