Jira ticket to branch name.applescript

-- This script will copy a specially formatted version of the current Chrome tab to your clipboard. For example, if you are viewing Jira ticket in Chrome, "sig-435-add-icons-to-abm-filter-panel" or "[SIG-435] Add icons to ABM filter panel" can be copied to the clipboard.

-- How to use: Save to ~/Library/Scripts folder and enable the AppleScript menu (launch Applications/Script Editor and go to settings) or download FastScripts (for more features including add hot keys).
