To make the script callable globally as
create_feature_branch, you can follow these steps:create_feature_branch(without the.shextension).chmod +x create_feature_branch.Once you've completed these steps, you can run the script from any directory by simply typing
create_feature_branchin the terminal. The script will then prompt you for the name of the new feature branch and create it accordingly.
