How to automatically prepend git commit with a JIRA ID, from branch name. Ignores branch name if JIRA ID is not found in 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=$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD 2> /dev/null | grep -oE "[A-Z]+-[0-9]+")
if [ -n "$BRANCH_NAME" ]; then
    echo "[$BRANCH_NAME] $(cat $1)" > $1
fi
BRANCH_NAME="${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
