Git Branch Naming - Custom Template {name} variable not reflecting renamed branch name

General
1

Hi, I’m having an issue with the “Git Branch Naming” feature in Projects.

Setup:

  • Git Branch Naming: Custom

  • Custom Template: feat/{name}

Problem: When I create a new branch and then rename it using “Rename branch” option, the new name is visible on the project tile in the UI. However, when I push changes to GitHub, the branch is created with the original auto-generated name, not the renamed one.

Example:

  1. I create a new branch → Builder generates name like “branch-abc123”

  2. I rename it to “user-authentication” via “Rename branch”

  3. The tile shows “user-authentication” ✓

  4. I push to GitHub → branch is created as feat/branch-abc123 ✗

  5. Expected: feat/user-authentication

Questions:

  1. Is this the expected behavior for the {name} variable?

  2. What variables are available for the Custom Template? (Is there documentation for this?)

  3. Is there a way to set a custom branch name that will actually be used when pushing to GitHub?

  4. Is there a workaround to achieve custom branch naming that follows our team’s conventions (e.g., feat/feature-description)?

Thank you for your help!
