Use issue keys in Git branch names
An issue key connects a code change with its reason. Consistent use in branch names makes context easier to find.

How to apply it
Copy the visible key from the Taskending issue. After connecting the GitHub project, include it in the team’s branch convention, such as feature/WEB-24-date-filter. Check that the repository is linked to the intended project.
A concrete example
Including WEB-24 in the PR title also helps reviewers return to requirements. Imported Jira or Linear source keys can be recognized by existing mappings, but verify the target project on a representative example.
What to watch for
A similar title is not a substitute for the key. A wrong project or key can leave the code event in an unexpected location. Keep customer emails, tokens and unnecessary private data out of branch names.
How to check the outcome
Open the issue after a branch or PR event and verify the associated repository, issue and title.
