Pre-populate Git commit message with current branch's Pivotal Tracker story ID

prepare-commit-msg

#!/bin/sh
TMP=`git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD | grep -o '[-_]\d\+$'`
STORY_ID=${TMP:1}

if [[ ! -z $STORY_ID ]]
then
  ORIG_MSG_FILE="$1"
  ORIG_MSG=`cat $1`

  (echo "[#$STORY_ID]") > "$ORIG_MSG_FILE"
  (echo "$ORIG_MSG") >> "$ORIG_MSG_FILE"
fi

So awesome! Thanks Phil =)

This does not work on several account, I suggest using the second parameter to not clobber other commit messages like merge and etc.

Also there's another thing that I do not yet have a solution, if you do not edit the message git will not detect that it has not changed. It will simply use your edited version.

task="$CURRENT_TASK"
url="$CURRENT_TASK_URL"

if [[ "$task" != "" && ( "$2" == "" || "$2" == "template" ) ]]; then
    printf "%s:\n\nissue: %s\n\n%s" "${task}" "${url}" "$(cat - "$1")" > "$1"
fi

That is my version
