git ticket

Automatically reference the ticket number (issue or pull request) for a particular branch in your commit message.

$ git commit -m "add meaning of life"
[branch 2d39dc8] add meaning of life #42

How to set up

Clone / download repo
Run setup.sh
source ~/.bash_profile

When you call git ticket in a repo the git hooks will be set up automatically (by calling git init). So simply head straight into your repos and start using!

NOTE: running setup.sh will

export variable GIT_TICKET_PATH in ~/.bash_profile
Add alias git ticket to your ~/.gitconfig file
Symbolic link prepare-commit-msg and branch-ticket-restrictions.sh into ~/.git_template/hooks
Setup git template to auto-add above files into your repos

How to use

Set the ticket number for current branch:
```
git ticket 42
```
When you next commit, the issue number will be added to the first line of your commit message. If you commit without a message the ticket number can be edited in the text editor.
Show ticket number for current branch:
```
git ticket
```
Remove ticket number for current branch:
```
git ticket rm
```
Custom strings are also supported for ticket numbers, for example to reference other repos:
```
$ git ticket Company/app#42
Current branch ticket number set to 'Company/app#42'
```

Add branch restrictions

Edit branch-ticket-restrictions.sh to add restrictions to branches you can set a ticket for. You can restrict certain branch names, or enforce a prefix. By default this file is a symlink to the git-ticket repo's file you cloned / downloaded.
Check current restrictions in repo by calling:
```
git ticket restrictions
```
