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.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] ".

Happy Committing!
