How to limit a git branch name to 50 characters?

@lew 

You can limit a git branch name to 50 characters by using the --edit-description flag when creating a new branch. This flag allows you to edit the description of the branch, which is limited to 50 characters.

Here's an example of how to create a new branch with a name limited to 50 characters:

1

git checkout -b new-branch --edit-description

This will open a text editor where you can enter the description of the branch. Make sure to keep the description under 50 characters to limit the branch name. Save the description and exit the text editor to create the new branch with the limited name.
