Getting started

git config --global user.name "John Doe"
git config --global user.email [email protected]
git config --global log.mailmap true

git config http.proxy http://myproxy:8080

Simple workflow

• Create JIRA issue
• Click Create Branch on JIRA issue
  • Check source branch is dev
  • This will transition the JIRA issue to In Progress
• git fetch
• git checkout feature/JIRA-ID
  • This will automatically create the new branch locally, based on the new remote branch
• Make changes
• git commit -am "My commit description"
• git push
• Create pull request from feature/JIRA-ID to dev
  • This will transition the JIRA issue to In Review
• Merge in stash on build success
  • This will transition the JIRA issue to Done
  • Select Delete branch if the JIRA is complete
• If the remote branch was deleted, git fetch -p will delete the references to those remote branches locally
• Delete branch locally if desired, with git branch -d branchname
• Bring the local dev branch up to date with latest changes
  • git checkout dev
  • git pull

Hook to add branch/issue name to feature branches

This enables JIRA/Bamboo integration so that JIRA can detect build status in the Development pane. Add to .git/hooks/prepare-commit-msg (also works on Windows, at least with msysgit).

Terse - only include issue

#!/bin/sh
#
# Automatically adds issue ID to every commit message.
# Modified from the stackoverflow answer here: http://stackoverflow.com/a/11524807/151445
#
 
# Succeed on all merge messages, as evidenced by MERGE_MSG existing
[ -f $GIT_DIR/MERGE_MSG ] && exit 0
 
# Get branch name and description
NAME=$(git branch | grep '*' | sed 's/* //')
 
case "$NAME" in
  feature/*)
	# Append issue ID to COMMIT_MSG
	# For info on parameters to githooks, run: man githooks
	ISSUE=$(echo $NAME | sed 's/feature\/\([A-Z]*-[0-9]*\).*/\1/')
	if [ "$ISSUE" != "$NAME" ]; then
	  echo -e "\n[$ISSUE]" >> "$1"
	fi
esac

Verbose - include branch and issue

#!/bin/sh
#
# Automatically adds branch name and branch description to every commit message.
# Modified from the stackoverflow answer here: http://stackoverflow.com/a/11524807/151445
#
 
# Succeed on all merge messages, as evidenced by MERGE_MSG existing
[ -f $GIT_DIR/MERGE_MSG ] && exit 0
 
# Get branch name and description
NAME=$(git branch | grep '*' | sed 's/* //')
DESCRIPTION=$(git config branch."$NAME".description)
 
case "$NAME" in
  feature/*)
	# Append branch name and optional description to COMMIT_MSG
	# For info on parameters to githooks, run: man githooks
	ISSUE=$(echo $NAME | sed 's/feature\/\([A-Z]*-[0-9]*\).*/\1/')
	if [ "$ISSUE" != "$NAME" ]; then
	  echo -e "\nIssue: $ISSUE" >> "$1"
	  BRANCH_PREFIX=""
	else
	  BRANCH_PREFIX="\n"
	fi
	echo -e "${BRANCH_PREFIX}Branch: $NAME $DESCRIPTION" >> "$1"
esac

Standardise committer name/email address

Use a .mailmap file in the repository root; this is also recognised automatically by Stash.
