Sanitise string to remove slashes in Bash script

When I run my script locally I can sanitise strings perfectly and remove slashes:

get_branch_name () {
  local branch_name="$(git name-rev --name-only HEAD)"
  echo $branch_name
}

feature_branch_name="$(get_branch_name)"
feature_branch_name_no_backslash=$(echo $feature_branch_name | sed 's/\//-/')

However on my remote Linux server sed does not work and I have not been able to make this work at all so far, using whichever combination of solutions I find on the web.

I want to replace slashes with dashes as it is used as a file name and slashes will create sub folders.

How can I achieve this with substitution or sed?

Use parameter expansion with from/to:

feature_branch_name_no_backslash=${feature_branch_name//\//-}
