### Main Authors - [Jack Davis](https://github.com/dackJavies) - [Logan Moore](https://github.com/ThoseGrapefruits) ## Branches > __Syntax__ > `devname` = first name of the developer > `issuenumber` = the number of the issue that the branch is completing. > `short-description` = a short, dash-separated description of the branch (shouldn't be more than ~40 characters) Branch name formatting should be as follows: - If there is a relevant, single Issue that the branch will completely solve: `devname`/`issuenumber`/`short-description` _e.g._ `logan/21/pull-out-base-class-functionality` - If the branch wraps up multiple Issues or has no associated Issue: `devname`/`short-description` _e.g._ `logan/readme-updates` ## Pull Requests & Issues - If a PR directly closes one or more issues, those issues should be listed in the description with one of the auto-closing prefixes as described [here](https://help.github.com/articles/closing-issues-via-commit-messages/). _e.g._ "Closes #15: Refactored constants into a package with top-level classes."
