I would like to have a script set up which prepends my commit message with a part of my branch name.

The part of my branch name I want is the project ticket number.

The format of the branch will be one of the following:

feature/ABC-123-my-cool-branch

ABC-123-my-cool-branch

In each case, the part I want to extract is ABC-123.

Then I want to be able to assign the script to an alias like commit-with-ticket-number so that I can type:

$ commit-with-ticket-number "My fantastic commit"

and the result of the commit message will be:

"ABC-123 My fantastic commit"

How can I write such a script that prepends text based on my branch name to my commit message?

So you want the first two words of the branch? How do you determine what part to retain from the branch name? – Willem Van Onsem Oct 12 '17 at 20:42
