Soenneker.Enums.GitBranches

A string-backed enum-value type for the conventional develop, staging, and main Git branch names.

Install

dotnet add package Soenneker.Enums.GitBranches

Usage

using Soenneker.Enums.GitBranches;

GitBranch branch = GitBranch.Main;
string branchName = branch.Value; // "main"

if (GitBranch.TryFromValue(input, out GitBranch? parsed))
{
    // parsed is one of the shared static instances
}

Available values:

• Develop → "develop"
• Staging → "staging"
• Main → "main"

System.Text.Json serializes the type as the lowercase branch name. FromValue throws for unknown input; use TryFromValue when parsing configuration or webhook payloads. FromName and TryFromName use the C# member names, such as "Main".

The values are short branch names, not full refs such as refs/heads/main. This package does not inspect a repository, determine its default branch, validate that a branch exists, or run Git commands. Repositories with other branch conventions should keep using their actual string names rather than forcing them into this closed set.
