#Git msg-prefix This is subcommand to git which allows you to set commit message prefix for specific branch. It is very useful when working with jira. You can sepcify prefix i.e AB-1 which represents jira issue number.
You can set it up via Homebrew
Run the following commands:
brew tap kamilczerw/tapbrew install git-msg-prefixNow configure your git with templates directory
git config --global init.templatedir ~/.git-templatesYou can use one of 2 naming conventions to set commit message prefix. If you use jira for issue tracking you can name your branch like ab-12-branch-name, the prefix will be AB-12.
For github use g12-branch-name, the prefix will be #12. You can also replace - with _.
You can always specify custom prefix for brunch.
git msg-prefix set prefix [branch]You don't have to specify branch name, by default it is current branch which you are working on. If prefix is already set for specific branch it will replace it.
