commit-from

Create a commit message from ticket details from issue sources.

Why would I use this?

Because:

• Automate all the things.
• Save time by rapidly producing commit messages without switching contexts.
• Enable automated releases by always including necessary metadata.

Currently support issue sources:

• GitHub
• Jira

Getting Started

Install node.js 4+.

Install via NPM

npm install -g commit-from

Configuration

Configuration is provided from the .cfconfig file in the user's home directory.

Example

[github]
  issuePrefix = issue-
  template = ~/.gittemplates/github.txt
  timeout = 75000

[jira]
  apiVersion = 2
  host = jira.myhost.org
  password = SprSrsPsswrd1234!@#$
  protocol = https
  strictSSL = true
  template = ~/.gittemplates/jira.txt
  timeout = 75000
