This will be one of the very short posts again. I just found this awesome little extension for VS Code called Git Prefix by Samuel Meyers that let’s you prefill your git commit messages with your branch name. Awesome!

I hope you will find this as useful as me. 🙂

why should I add the branch name?

It’s easier for me to see what the other people in the team were working on if the branch name and pull request titles contain information about the ticket number for example. Including the branch name in the commit message will prefill that info in my pull request title.

Had this topic yesterday 😀
In my PRs are often small commits that are related to a WorkItem/Topic/Development. These are all in the one branch (MyNameHandle/Topic).

But in every commit the Branchname? Sounds like not the Information that are needed there.
