#
# To enable this hook, rename this file to “.git/hooks/commit-msg”.
# Make sure to add execution permissions to the file.
export MESSAGE=$(<$1)
export JIRA_ISSUE_TAG=’ISSUETAG-([0-9]*)’
if [[ $MESSAGE =~ $JIRA_ISSUE_TAG ]]; then
echo -e “\e[32mGreat, your commit message contains a JIRA issue!\e[0m”
exit 0;
fi
echo -e “\e[31mOh hamburgers … You forgot to add a JIRA issue number!\e[0m”;
