Setup

Copy contents of prepare-commit-msg to .git/hooks/prepare-commit-msg.

This has to be configured for each project.

Requirements:

• grep with extended regex (-E) support, it should already be preinstalled on macOS and Linux

Notes:

This will only work when commiting via git CLI (git commit [...]). There is no support for GUI tools.

prepare-commit-msg

#!/bin/bash

TICKET_PREFIX="PAMPLA"

ticket_name="$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD | grep -oE "${TICKET_PREFIX}-\d+")"
original_commit=$(cat "$1")

# clear commit message
echo -n "" > "$1"
if [[ -n $ticket_name ]]; then
  # if ticket name was found, prepend it to the commit message
  echo "${ticket_name}: " > "$1"
fi
# append original commit message
echo "$original_commit" >> "$1"
