Pull request message hooks for hub

I'm a big fan of hub, but I found myself wishing for the ability to use git hooks on pull-request messages the same way you can on commit messages with prepare-commit-msg and commit-msg hooks. People have been asking for hub to be able to do this for a while, but until that happens, here is a way you can do it yourself, right now.

To use this, just drop the script below into your $PATH somewhere, and make sure you have your $EDITOR environment variable set to whatever command runs your real editor, and then set your $GIT_EDITOR environment variable to run the hub-editor script.

The way this works is that when hub-editor is invoked with a file named PULLREQ_EDITMSG (which is the filename hub uses for editing pull requests) then it will run the prepare-pull-request-msg and pull-request-msg scripts from your .git/hooks directory (if they exist and are executable). If hub-editor is invoked with any other file

Lazy developers use branch names to keep track of their tickets

On my team we like to put ticket numbers in commit messages, so that Jira finds them and puts links to the commits in the ticket. The problem is that I have a really hard time remembering my ticket numbers. What I've been doing is creating a branch for each ticket, but while that helps me remember the numbers, it still doesn't help me remember which ticket is which. I had tried posting comments to myself in Slack to keep track of them, but then it occurred to me that I didn't need to be using just the ticket number as the branch name, so now I'm trying something new.

Instead of creating branches with just the ticket number, I'm using ticket/short-description. The length of the branch name doesn't affect much, thanks to tab completion, and having that information available at a glance right in the repo is huge, especially since I have the branch name as part of my prompt.
