Regex for matching git repo names for git.commitPrefixes

[harsilspatel]

This feature request stems from my git workflow which warrants prefixing the commits, in all the repositories, with relevant Jira issue ID. So, every new repo has to be added to the git.commitPrefixes with the same pattern and replace config.

A solution that I could think of was matching the project names by regular expressions. And perhaps we could define precedence, say the last entry that matches repo name is used, if multiple regexes match the project name.

For instance, let's say our repo name is kramerica_industries_api and if our config involves the following (snippet):

git:
  commitPrefixes:
    kramerica_industries.*: # this matches
      pattern: "^\\w+\\/(\\w+-\\w+).*"
      replace: '🥨: ' # these pretzels are making me thirsty!
    vandelay_industries.*: # does not match
      pattern: "^\\w+\\/(\\w+-\\w+).*"
      replace: '🥖: ' # _schnitzer's marble rye_, all the way!
    .*api$: # this also matches and has higher precedence so this config will be applied
      pattern: "^\\w+\\/(\\w+-\\w+).*"
      replace: '[$1] '

then the entry .*api$ will be used for the commit prefix.

My example assumes that the order of the object keys is maintained when the yaml config is parsed. If not we'll have to impose precedence some other way but hopefully the example articulates my thoughts well enough to spark a discussion on the topic!

You could try hacking up a lazygit custom command to do this

I have this same workflow inconvenience as well
