This is similar to when people create branches with just the Jira ID instead of using the ID and title slug as branch name. I’m often working on 3+ items at a time and need a quick way to know which branch is which; how do people that just use the ID as branch name know what the code changes are?

And then there's the other side, where some use very verbose branch names rapidly approaching 80 columns.

I do this and probably never break over 3 words or 32 chars, usually the literal ticket titles are overly verbose and poorly chosen anyways.
