Automatically format Git commits into Jira smart commits

Auto Jira smart commit

This pre-commit hook transforms your Git commit messages into Jira smart commits.

If your branch name contains a Jira issue key such as ABC-123, the hook will automatically format your commit message into a Jira smart commit:

Command	Log entry
git commit -m "release the kraken."	ABC-123 Release the kraken ABC-123 #time 0w 0d 2h 8m Release the kraken Effect: Logs the time since your last commit on any branch in the Work Log tab.
git commit -m "Release the kraken A kraken lives in dark depths, usually a sunken rift or a cavern filled with detritus, treasure, and wrecked ships."	ABC-123 Release the kraken ABC-123 #comment A kraken lives in dark depths, usually a sunken rift or a cavern filled with detritus, treasure, and wrecked ships. ABC-123 #time 0w 0d 2h 8m Release the kraken Effect: Posts a comment to the Jira issue and logs the time since your last commit in the Work Log tab.

If the branch name does not contain a Jira issue key, the commit message is not modified. The time logged takes into account non-working hours such as lunch breaks and nights.

See How to Write a Git Commit Message for an explanation of the seven rules of a great Git commit message:

1. Separate subject from body with a blank line
2. Limit the subject line to 50 characters
3. Capitalize the subject line (automated)
4. Do not end the subject line with a period (automated)
5. Use the imperative mood in the subject line
6. Wrap the body at 72 characters
7. Use the body to explain what and why vs. how
