The css-truncate class will shorten text with an ellipsis.

Truncate overflow

Combine the css-truncate and css-truncate-overflow classes to prevent text that overflows from wrapping.

<div class="col-3">
  <div class="css-truncate css-truncate-overflow border p-3">
    branch-name-that-is-really-long
  </div>
  <div class="border p-3 mt-3">
    branch-name-that-is-really-long
  </div>
</div>

Truncate target

Combine the css-truncate and css-truncate-target classes for inline (or inline-block) elements with a fixed maximum width (default: 125px).

Some text with a
<strong class="css-truncate css-truncate-target">
  branch-name-that-is-really-long
</strong>

You can override the maximum width of the truncated text with an inline style attribute:

Some text with a
<strong class="css-truncate css-truncate-target" style="max-width: 180px">
  branch-name-that-is-really-long
</strong>

You can reveal the entire string on hover with the addition of .expandable.

Some text with a
<strong class="css-truncate css-truncate-target expandable">
  branch-name-that-is-really-long
</strong>
