How to automatically prepend git commit with a branch name

prepare-commit-msg.sh

#!/bin/bash

# This way you can customize which branches should be skipped when
# prepending commit message. 
if [ -z "$BRANCHES_TO_SKIP" ]; then
  BRANCHES_TO_SKIP=(master develop test)
fi

BRANCH_NAME=$(git symbolic-ref --short HEAD)
BRANCH_NAME="${BRANCH_NAME##*/}"

BRANCH_EXCLUDED=$(printf "%s\n" "${BRANCHES_TO_SKIP[@]}" | grep -c "^$BRANCH_NAME$")
BRANCH_IN_COMMIT=$(grep -c "\[$BRANCH_NAME\]" $1)

if [ -n "$BRANCH_NAME" ] && ! [[ $BRANCH_EXCLUDED -eq 1 ]] && ! [[ $BRANCH_IN_COMMIT -ge 1 ]]; then 
  sed -i.bak -e "1s/^/[$BRANCH_NAME] /" $1
fi

It's pretty awesome, I check It working, but I got some issues

I don't know why like this warnning show me.

  1 #!/usr/bin/env bash
  2
  3 if [ -z "$BRANCHES_TO_SKIP" ]; then
  4   BRANCHES_TO_SKIP=(master develop release hotfix)
  5 fi
  6
  7 PROJECT_ID=MAT
  8 BRANCH_NAME=$(git symbolic-ref --short HEAD)
  9 BRANCH_NAME="${BRANCH_NAME##*/}"
 10 JIRA_ID=`echo $BRANCH_NAME | egrep -o "$PROJECT_ID-[0-9]+"`
 11
 12 BRANCH_EXCLUDED=$(printf "%s\n" "${BRANCHES_TO_SKIP[@]}" | grep -c "^$BRANCH_NAME$")
 13
 14 COMMIT_MSG_HEAD=$(head $1 -n 1)
 15 BRANCH_IN_COMMIT=$(grep -c $COMMIT_MSG_HEAD)
 16
 17 if [ -n $JIRA_ID ] && ! [[ $BRANCH_EXCLUDED -eq 1 ]] && ! [[ $BRANCH_IN_COMMIT -ge 1 ]]; then
 18   sed -i.bak -e "1s/^/[$JIRA_ID] /" $1
 19 fi

Would it be possible to use sed to replace a variable of a commit.template instead of adding at the beginning/end of the commit message?

E.g:

Description:

Ticket: $BRANCH_NAME

Do you have a script that will work on windows machines?

@samarnayak where do you want to run it? Under Powershell?

Alternatively, under WSL or (even) Cygwin things should work fine. But I have to admit I haven't tried it myself.
