Simple bash script to compact and add markdown links to any jira issues or git PR references

record-history.sh

#!/bin/sh

# Use this script to create markdowned release notes based on a previous point in git history, e.g. for HockeyApp uploads from Jenkins/Team City
# Store current reference with git log --pretty=format:'%H' -n 1 > git-reference and pass as first parameter to this script
# Usage: record-history <git sha in the past>

PREVIOUS=$1
CURRENT=$(git log --pretty=format:'%H' -n 1)

JIRA_BASE='https:\/\/your.jira.com\/browse\/'

#                                                           Change AA to your JIRA issue prefix
