What is BitBucket Better PR Commit Message?

BitBucket Better PR Commit Message is a Chrome extension that replaces BitBucket's default pull request commit message with a more useful message, especially if you squash PRs. It improves the commit history by using the title of the PR as the commit message, making it more informative and reducing noise. The individual commit messages and approvals will still appear in the body of the commit message. Help make this the default behavior by voting for the issue on Atlassian's Jira.

Summary

Analyze keywords

If your development workflow involves creating a pull request for every change, and you squash your PRs with the default commit message when you merge them, then your commit history has a bunch of entries that all look like "Merged in my-terse-branch-name (pull request #123)". These aren't especially helpful commit messages and "Merged in" just becomes noise. This extension will use the title of your PR as the commit message instead which should lead to a much more useful commit history. The bulleted list of individual commit messages and approvals will still appear in the body of the commit message.

To tell Atlassian that this should be the default behavior, go to the following URL and vote for the issue.

User reviews

Bitbucket has many annoying parts in this is one of them. Can't wait for the company to move to github or other solutions. Meanwhile this extension is the way to go! Thank you.
