Azure DevOps Branch Name Generator
Extension Actions
Generate proper GitHub branch names from Azure DevOps work items
Azure DevOps Branch Name Generator saves you from manually typing branch names and PR titles. Open any work item in Azure DevOps, click the extension, and get a clean, standardized branch name instantly.
How it works:
- Open a work item (Task, Bug, User Story, Feature) on dev.azure.com
- Click the extension icon — it auto-detects the item number, title, and type
- Get a formatted branch name (e.g. feature/12345-implement-user-login) and a PR title (e.g. AB#12345 Implement user login)
- Copy either with one click
Features:
- Auto-detects work item ID, title, and type from the active Azure DevOps page
- Works on work item forms, board panels, backlog rows, and query results
- Generates branch names following the type/id-slug convention
- Generates PR titles with Azure Boards linking syntax (AB#id)
- Supports branch types: feature, bugfix, hotfix, chore, refactor, docs, test
- Slugifies titles automatically — removes special characters, accents, and excess whitespace
- Manual editing — adjust any field before copying
- Re-detect button for single-page app navigation
- Dark themed UI designed to match developer tooling
