And now I'm on my computer, here is the modified version. Put this in:
.git/hooks/prepare-commit-msg
#!/usr/bin/env bash
BRANCH=$(git symbolic-ref --short HEAD 2> /dev/null)
# fail gracefully if we don't have a branch
if [ -z "$BRANCH" ]; then
exit 0
fi
# add a git trailer with the branch
git interpret-trailers --in-place --where before --if-exists addIfDifferent --trailer Branch="$BRANCH" "$1"
And if you add the following alias to your ~/.gitconfig you'll be able to see the branch names in the logs by typing git lb (for log branch):
[alias]
lb = log --color --graph --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset %C(bold)%(trailers:key=Branch,valueonly,separator=%x2c)%Creset - %s %Cgreen(%cr)%C(bold blue) <%an>%C(nobold yellow)%d%Creset' --abbrev-commit
- cryptonector 2y agoI'm thinking of writing a commit hook to make sure that every commit has the following metadata in trailers: - original parent commit Between this and the synopsis it should then be possible to find all evolutions of this commit. - original upstream URI and branch (if known) or upstream URI and branch targeted for integration (prompting if necessary) - commit type and optional tracker ID When a commit has these metadata already, leave it.
