Git hooks used with pre-commit to ensure proper jira issue linking in your commit messages.

See also: https://github.com/pre-commit/pre-commit

Prerequisites

Works only with python version >= 3.6

A new version of pip that supports PEP-517/PEP-518 is required. When the setup fails try updating pip.

Usage

jira_commit_msg hook

This hook checks if the specified JIRA tag with issue number is present in the commit messages and can verify via the JRIA API if the issue number is valid.

Add this to your project's .pre-commit-config.yaml file:

repos:
- repo: https://github.com/Cielquan/commit-msg-jira-hook
  rev: '' # Use the ref you want to point at
  hooks:
  - id: jira_commit_msg
    args: ["--jira-tag=<TAG>", "--verify", "--jira-url=<URL>"]

Exchange the placeholders with your actual config. <URL> may be https://jira.atlassian.com.

Args to specify hook behavior:

• --jira-tag is mandatory.
• --verify can be omitted or changed to --no-verify to disable online verification.
• --jira-url is mandatory if online verification is enabled or can be omitted otherwise.

Then add a .jira.ini file to your home directory, if you want to use online verification for the issue numbers, with the following config:

[jira]
JIRA_USERNAME = <YOUR EMAIL>
JIRA_TOKEN = <API TOKEN>

Get api token from here: https://id.atlassian.com/manage/api-tokens

Lastly install the hook:

$ pre-commit install -t commit-msg

jira_prepare_commit_msg hook

This hook extracts this specified JIRA tag and the issue number from your current git branch and add them to the beginning of your commit message.

Add this to your project's .pre-commit-config.yaml file:

repos:
- repo: https://github.com/Cielquan/commit-msg-jira-hook
  rev: '' # Use the ref you want to point at
  hooks:
  - id: jira_prepare_commit_msg
    args: ["--jira-tag=<TAG>"]

Exchange the placeholders with your actual config.

Args to specify hook behavior:

• --jira-tag is mandatory.
• --auto can be omitted or changed to --always to always prepend JIRA tag to commit msg even when its already there.
• --deactivate-with takes a string which, when present at the start of the commit msg, deactivates adding the JIRA tag to commit msg and removes the string from the commit msg.
• --no-error silences the error which occurs when the current branch has no JIRA tag.

Lastly install the hook:

$ pre-commit install -t prepare-commit-msg
