git_prefix enhances git checkout. When a branch has changed git_prefix will check if it matches the pattern feature/<any>. #<any> is taken as prefix for all commits that will be created on that branch.
The additional # is necessary for several issue-trackers to get notice that a commit was pushed which relates to an issue.
Note that the automatic prefix is configured for branches that start with feature/.
The prefix is saved in the environment variable GIT_COMMIT_PREFIX. It will be read by the prepare-commit-msg hook to set the prefix in front of each commit message.
