Insert a value from the current branch name into the Source Control Git Message box.

Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings using JavaScript regular expression syntax:

• gitPrefix.pattern: Regular expression pattern to match in the branch name. Default matches entire branch name.

  Tip: Match a ticket in a branch created by Jira using a pattern such as: .*(TEST-\d+).*

• gitPrefix.isSuffix: Suffix expression instead of prefixing it. Default is false.

• gitPrefix.patternIgnoreCase: Ignore case in pattern. Default is false.

• gitPrefix.replacementIsFunction: If true, the replacement string is a function return expression where parameters (p1, p2, p3, etc.) correspond to the matching patterns $1, $2, $3, etc.. Default is false.

  Example : p1 + (p3 ? `(${p2}): ${p4.replace(/-/g, ' ')}` : p2.replace(/-/g, ' '))

• gitPrefix.replacement: Regular expression replacement string to place into commit message. Default is "[$1] ".

Replacement Tokens

There's a few replacement tokens the extension provides in order to let your messages be a little bit more fluid.

• $folder: the folder name of the root of the repository that is currently active
• $parentFolder: the folder name of the parent folder of the root of the repository that is currently active

These can be used in the gitPrefix.replacement value.

Example : "[$parentFolder/$folder/$1] "

Happy Committing!
