  • --pattern can be used to change the feature branch pattern to take the message prefix from. Needs to match with --prefix-pattern. Defaults to feature/(\w+-\d+).
  • --prefix-pattern should match the prefix of the message to normalize it. Needs to match with --pattern. Defaults to ^\s*\w+-\d+\s*:
