git commit-msg 钩子的正则表达式

Question

I am trying to achieve following structure for git commit msg:

X=Uppercase character
Y=Number 0-9
category=fix, chore, doc, etc...

XXXXY-YYY [category] XXXXX*

this is my commit-msg file

MSG_FILE=$1
FILE_CONTENT="$(cat $MSG_FILE)"
# Initialize constants here
export REGEX="\D\D\D\D\d-\d\d\d \[(fix|poc|chore|feat|refactor|style|test)\] .*"
export ERROR_MSG="Commit message format must match regex \"${REGEX}\""
if [[ $FILE_CONTENT =~ $REGEX ]]; then
 echo "Nice commit!"
else
  echo "Bad commit \"$FILE_CONTENT\", check format."
 echo $ERROR_MSG
 exit 1
fi
exit 0

But all I get is:

    $ git commit -m "PBCL2-666 [fix] whatever"
Bad commit "PBCL2-666 [fix] whatever", check format.
Commit message format must match regex "\D\D\D\D\d-\d\d\d \[(fix|poc|chore|feat|refactor|style|test)\] .*"

Any ideas?

You are using the regex in Bash and thus using the POSIX ERE regex engine.

POSIX ERE does not recognize the \\D construct matching any non-digit char. Use [0-9] to match a digit (or [[:digit:]] ) and [^0-9] (or [^[:digit:]] ) to match a non-digit.

However, you need [[:upper:]] to match any uppercase letter.

FILE_CONTENT="PBCL2-666 [fix] whatever"
# ....
ERROR_MSG="Commit message format must match regex \"${REGEX}\""
REGEX="^[[:upper:]]{4}[0-9]-[0-9]{3} \[(fix|poc|chore|feat|refactor|style|test)] .*"
if [[ $FILE_CONTENT =~ $REGEX ]]; then
 echo "Nice commit!"
else
  echo "Bad commit \"$FILE_CONTENT\", check format."
 echo $ERROR_MSG
 exit 1
fi

See the online Bash demo .

Note I added ^ at the start to make sure matching starts from the beginning of string only.
