Is there any possibility to create commit message templates on azure DevOps repositories?

Question

I just want to create some standard commit messages for repositories, is this feature available? Are there any workarounds?

Answer 1

You can add code into your .git/hooks/prepare-commit-msg hook that will alter message in the way you want:

#!/bin/bash

COMMIT_MSG_FILE=$1

# Only add custom message when there is no commit source
# ($COMMIT_SOURCE is empty). Otherwise, keep the default message
# proposed by Git
if [[ -z "$COMMIT_SOURCE" ]]
then
    echo "Default message template goes here" > "$COMMIT_MSG_FILE"
fi
