Naming conventions for branches in eq author

Since we are now using Jira to track our tickets we now have access to the Unique Jira ID. Unlike Trello, Jira keeps this ID for the duration of the ticket and even when it has been done.

Using the Jira ticket ID at the start with hyphens write a meaningful description of what work is being done in the branch

Example

A ticket to add some styling to some HTML that was displayed correctly had the Jira ID of EAR-205

The task was to add in styles for the bullet list and highlighted text on Eq's History page.

So when creating you branch with the command

git branch EAR-205-adding-bullet-list-and-highlighted-text-to-history-note

This will then searchable in Github by simply searching for EAR-205 in the Git Branch Search Box
