prepare-commit-msg

A simple git hook that will parse the branch name to prefix the commit message with the ticket number.

How?

Build the binary:

git clone https://github.com/AlexCzar/prepare-commit-msg
cd prepare-commit-msg
cargo build --release

Put the resulting binary target/release/prepare-commit-msg into your git hooks folder (the name of the binary matters!).

Note

You can set this up globablly, by configuring a shared hooks directory (git config --global core.hooksPath /path/to/hooks), and placing the file there.

The hook picks up prefixes formatted as TKT-0123 - which is the Jira style ticket ID, also widely used by other tools.

To have the hook pick it up, prefix your feature branch with TKT-0123, followed by either _ or -. The case in the branch name does not matter, the hook will always uppercase it.
