SourceTree Commit Dialog

Chase Sandmann Aug 21, 2015

My company requires that commits be structured in a particular way. My coworker wrote some git hooks that run whenever we commit to check if the commits have the required information, and if not, it prompts the user to enter that information. This works well in the command line, and the happy path works in SourceTree too, but when the message is not properly formatted, the commit just hangs when it gets to the input and never continues. Is there some way to bring up a dialog box when a script requests input from the user? I have read that something similar is done when a username and password is required.
