+# Branch Report Generator
+
+This feature allows you to generate Excel reports containing branch information from GitHub repositories.
+
+## Features
+
+The generated Excel report includes:
+- **Branch Name**: Name of each branch in the repository
+- **PR Status**: Status of associated pull requests (merged, open, closed, or none)
+- **Created By**: Username of the person who created the branch
+- **PR URL**: Link to the associated pull request (if any)
+- **Protected**: Whether the branch is protected
+- **Last Commit Date**: Date and time of the last commit on the branch
+
+## Setup
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+1. Install required dependencies:
+   ```bash
+   pip install -r requirements.txt
+   ```
+
+2. Set up GitHub authentication (required for accessing private repositories and higher rate limits):
+   ```bash
+   export GITHUB_TOKEN='your_github_personal_access_token'
+   ```
+
+   To create a GitHub personal access token:
+   - Go to GitHub Settings → Developer settings → Personal access tokens
+   - Generate a new token with `repo` scope for private repositories
+   - For public repositories only, the token is optional but recommended to avoid rate limits
+
+## Usage
+
+### Method 1: API Endpoint
+
+Use the FastAPI endpoint to generate reports:
+
+```bash
+GET /api/v4/generate_branch_report?owner=<owner>&repo=<repo>
+```
+
+**Parameters:**
+- `owner` (required): Repository owner (username or organization)
+- `repo` (required): Repository name
+
+**Example:**
+```bash
+curl -X GET "http://localhost:8000/api/v4/generate_branch_report?owner=microsoft&repo=Multi-Agent-Custom-Automation-Engine-Solution-Accelerator" \
+  -H "user_principal_id: your-user-id" \
+  -o branch_report.xlsx
+```
+
+### Method 2: Standalone Script
+
+Run the standalone script directly:
+
+```bash
+cd src/backend
+python generate_branch_report.py <owner> <repo> [output_file]
+```
+
+**Examples:**
+```bash
+# Generate report with default filename
+python generate_branch_report.py microsoft Multi-Agent-Custom-Automation-Engine-Solution-Accelerator
+
+# Generate report with custom filename
+python generate_branch_report.py microsoft Multi-Agent-Custom-Automation-Engine-Solution-Accelerator my_report.xlsx
+```
+
+## Output Format
+
+The Excel file contains:
+- **Professional formatting** with styled headers
+- **Color-coded rows** for easy reading
+- **Auto-sized columns** for optimal viewing
+- **Clickable PR URLs** (when applicable)
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Rate Limiting
+
+If you encounter rate limiting errors:
+- Set the `GITHUB_TOKEN` environment variable with a valid token
+- Authenticated requests have a limit of 5,000 requests per hour
+- Unauthenticated requests are limited to 60 per hour
+
+### Access Errors
+
+If you cannot access a repository:
+- Ensure the repository is public, or your token has access to private repositories
+- Verify the owner and repository names are correct
+- Check that your token has the necessary scopes (`repo` for private repos)
+
+### No Data
+
+If the report is empty:
+- Verify the repository exists and has branches
+- Check the console logs for specific error messages
+- Ensure network connectivity to GitHub API
+
+## API Rate Limits
+
+GitHub API has the following rate limits:
+- **Authenticated**: 5,000 requests per hour
+- **Unauthenticated**: 60 requests per hour
+
+Each repository typically requires:
+- 1 request to fetch the repository
+- 1 request per branch to get details
+- 1 request per branch to check for pull requests
+
+For large repositories, consider using authentication to avoid rate limits.
+
+## Security Notes
+
+- Never commit your `GITHUB_TOKEN` to version control
+- Use environment variables or secure secret management
+- Tokens should have minimal required permissions
+- Regularly rotate your tokens for security
+
+## Development
+
+### Testing the Utility
+
+You can test the GitHub Excel Generator utility:
+
+```python
+from common.utils.github_excel_generator import GitHubExcelGenerator
+
+# Initialize with token
+generator = GitHubExcelGenerator(github_token="your_token")
+
+# Generate report
+success = generator.generate_report("microsoft", "Multi-Agent-Custom-Automation-Engine-Solution-Accelerator", "output.xlsx")
+```
+
+### Extending the Report
+
+To add more columns to the report, modify:
+1. `github_excel_generator.py`: Update `get_branch_info()` to collect additional data
+2. `github_excel_generator.py`: Update `generate_excel()` to include new columns in the spreadsheet
+
+## Support
+
+For issues or questions:
+- Check the application logs for detailed error messages
+- Review GitHub API status at https://www.githubstatus.com/
+- Ensure all prerequisites are properly configured

+# Quick Start: Branch Report Generator
+
+Generate Excel reports with branch and PR information from GitHub repositories.
+
+## Quick Demo
+
+Run the sample generator to see an example report:
+
+```bash
+cd src/backend
+python generate_sample_branch_report.py
+```
+
+This creates an Excel file in `/tmp/` with sample branch data.
+
+## Usage Options
+
+### Option 1: API Endpoint (Production)
+
+```bash
+curl -X GET "http://localhost:8000/api/v4/generate_branch_report?owner=microsoft&repo=YOUR-REPO" \
+  -H "user_principal_id: YOUR-USER-ID" \
+  -o branch_report.xlsx
+```
+
+### Option 2: Standalone Script
+
+```bash
+cd src/backend
+python generate_branch_report.py microsoft YOUR-REPO output.xlsx
+```
+
+**Note:** Requires `GITHUB_TOKEN` environment variable for private repos.
+
+### Option 3: Sample/Demo Script
+
+```bash
+cd src/backend
+python generate_sample_branch_report.py
+```
+
+Uses demo data - no GitHub token required.
+
+## Excel Report Contents
+
+The generated Excel file includes:
+
+| Branch Name | PR Status | Created By | PR URL | Protected |
+|------------|-----------|------------|--------|-----------|
+| main | none | Unknown | N/A | Yes |
+| feature-branch | open | developer | github.com/... | No |
+| hotfix | merged | admin | github.com/... | No |
+
+**Columns:**
+1. **Branch Name** - Name of the branch
+2. **PR Status** - merged, open, closed, or none
+3. **Created By** - Username who created the PR/branch
+4. **PR URL** - Link to pull request (if exists)
+5. **Protected** - Yes/No branch protection status
+
+## Requirements
+
+Install dependencies:
+
+```bash
+pip install openpyxl PyGithub
+```
+
+Or install all backend requirements:
+
+```bash
+cd src/backend
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+## Environment Setup
+
+For accessing private repositories or avoiding rate limits:
+
+```bash
+export GITHUB_TOKEN='your_github_token_here'
+```
+
+## Output Format
+
+- Professional Excel spreadsheet (.xlsx)
+- Styled headers with blue background
+- Alternating row colors for readability
+- Auto-sized columns
+- Clickable PR URLs
+
+## Example Output
+
+An example report has been generated at `/tmp/example_branch_report.xlsx` containing real branch data from this repository.
+
+## Full Documentation
+
+For detailed documentation, see [docs/branch_report_generator.md](../../docs/branch_report_generator.md)
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- **"No GitHub token"** - Export `GITHUB_TOKEN` or use sample generator
+- **"403 Forbidden"** - Check token permissions or repository access
+- **"Rate limit exceeded"** - Use authenticated requests with valid token
+
+## Support
+
+- Check application logs for detailed errors
+- Review the full documentation for advanced usage
+- Ensure all prerequisites are installed
