branch-name-lint

A CLI tool to lint and validate Git branch names against configurable rules. Current stable version is 3.0.1, requiring Node.js >=18. It supports prefix whitelisting, separator enforcement, regex patterns, banned/disallowed branch names, and suggestions for common typos. Key differentiators include support for JavaScript config files (for dynamic rules), environment variable override for CI/CD, and the ability to disable prefix or separator checks entirely. Useful for pre-commit hooks (husky) or CI pipelines to enforce branch naming conventions. Last major version (2.0.0) fixed spelling of 'separator' from 'seperator' and made branch names case-sensitive. Release cadence is irregular with maintenance updates.
