Description

My company uses a standard pattern for branch names, <username>/<description>.

It would be great to have GitButler be able to follow that convention when automatically creating branch names.

Research direction
Investigate the current branch name generation logic in GitButler's Rust backend (likely in src tauri/src). Look for how the default branch name is constructed. Additionally, explore the frontend settings UI in the Svelte app to understand how to add a new configuration option for a custom branch name pattern. Check if there are any existing configuration files or settings providers. Review any related issues or conversations in the issue comments for additional context.
