Not a valid git branch name

Question

I am trying to create a new branch under feature tag of my repo, I am using following to do this:

 git branch \"feature/BA-302-[AU]Intl-BCard\"                      


        

Answer 1

[ is not allowed in a branch name. See man git-check-ref-format or here for more details.

In zsh, [...] defines a character class the shell tries to match. If there's no match, you get the error zsh: no matches found. Using quotes prevents the matching. In bash, similar behaviour can be turned on by running shopt -s failglob.
