<!-- This template is a great use for issues that are feature::additions or technical tasks for larger issues.--> ### Proposal With https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/21243, the ability to customize the format of the branch name is possible. Some groups work using [gitflow](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/topics/gitlab_flow.html) so having multiple branch formats based on branch types would be useful. - `feature/` - `hotfix/` - `release/` - `support/` The ideal solution should support gitflow as well as simpler alternatives such as [Github and GitLab flow](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/topics/gitlab_flow.html#github-flow-as-a-simpler-alternative). ### User requests for this feature - https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/21243#note_847641635 - https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/21243#note_527512062 - https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/21243#note_503394338 - https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/21243#note_964012837 - https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/378297+ (related) <!-- Use this section to explain the feature and how it will work.
