It would be nice to have the ability to add some description to the branch itself, perhaps adding links ticket links and such.

That's a great idea! The state of virtual branches is tracked entirely by GitButler, and adding more metadata to them would be straightforward.

Immediately come in mind two things about descriptions in git butler:

This description can help enhance the AI generate commit and/or branches names acting as context.
Generate the whole ~Pull Request~ description from the commits (at least a change log)

What are your thoughts on the last suggestion? Perhaps some companies wish to adhere to a consistent standard for pull requests descriptions.

I think how AI uses locally available metadata to enhance its output would be worth its own issue, so this one can remain narrowly scoped.
