Question

I have a git commit template as below:

[overtype with subject line up to 50 chars ----->]

[overtype with details of what's in the commit]

[other information]
Ticket-Refs: 

I would like to append the string after “Ticket-Refs:” to a git log graph --pretty=format:

I was trying to use the --grep= to achieve this on the %b or %B, any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Definitely not the most graceful way, but here is an option:

$ git log --graph --grep=Ticket-Refs --pretty=format:'DELIMITER_STRING%B' | grep '\*.*DELIMITER_STRING\|Ticket' | sed s/DELIMITER_STRING.*//

Or another option

$ git log --graph --grep=Ticket-Refs --pretty=format:'DELIMITER_STRING%b' | grep '\*.*DELIMITER_STRING\|Ticket-Refs' | sed ':a;N;$!ba;s/DELIMITER_STRING.*Ticket-Refs://'

I shamelessly stole some of the code for the second option from another post
