2. Git Hooks

2.1. About Hooks

  • .git/hooks/pre-commit

  • chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-commit

  • #!/bin/sh

  • set +e - Print an error to but the script will continue

  • set -e - Exit immediately if a command exits with a non-zero status

  • trap

  • exit 0 (success) - allows to commit

  • exit 1 (error) - prevents commit

2.2. Possible Hooks

  • applypatch-msg

  • commit-msg

  • fsmonitor-watchman

  • post-update

  • pre-applypatch

  • pre-commit

  • pre-merge-commit

  • pre-push

  • pre-rebase

  • pre-receive

  • prepare-commit-msg

  • update

2.3. Branch Hook

$ git log --format='"%ai", "%h", "%an", "%ae", "%s"' > ~/Desktop/git-log.csv
"2020-10-14 01:04:38 +0200", "d5a4d6b", "Matt Harasymczuk", "matt@astrotech.io", "MYPROJECT-10 git commit message #time 69m"

$ git log --format='"%aI", "%h", "%an", "%ae", "%s"' > ~/Desktop/git-log.csv

# This simple hook gets Jira issue ID from the branch you are currently committing to.
# If you used Jira development panel "Create Branch", your branch name should be:
# "feature/MYPROJECT-69-some-issue-summary" and in such case it would get "MYPROJECT-69".
# Then hook prepends issue ID to your current commit message linking commit and Jira issue together.
# You'll never forget about adding issue id to the commit message anymore! :}
#
# To install hook just put following script (with comment) in ".git/hooks/prepare-commit-msg"
# On *nix machines (macOS, Linux, etc) add executable rights: ``chmod +x .git/hooks/prepare-commit-msg``
# That's it. You can commit to test if it works. Remember before committing to check out branch
# with proper name, such as: "feature/MYPROJECT-69-some-issue-summary".

COMMIT_MSG_FILE=$1
COMMIT_SOURCE=$2
COMMIT_HASH=$3

issuekey=$(git symbolic-ref HEAD |egrep --only-matching '[A-Z]{2,10}-[0-9]{1,6}')
message=$(cat $1)


if [ -z "$issuekey" ]; then
    echo "You are currently on a branch without JIRA issue ID in its name."
    echo "Changes were not committed."
    echo "If you want to commit anyway, just remove executable rights for this hook:"
    echo "chmod -x .git/hooks/prepare-commit-msg"
    echo "But remember to re-enable it later on, by executing:"
    echo "chmod +x .git/hooks/prepare-commit-msg"
    exit 1
else
   echo "$issuekey $message" > $COMMIT_MSG_FILE
fi

2.4. Assignments

  1. Create Git hook which enforces JIRA issue key in commit message

  2. Create Git hook which copies JIRA issue key from branch name to commit message
