If it finds one, it will automagically add it, in the [special\nformat][pt-format], to your commit message.\n\n## Installation\n\n### 1) Install the `git-tracker` binary\n\nYou need to get the `git-tracker` binary onto your system.\n\n- via [Homebrew][homebrew] :beers: (preferred)\n\n  ```bash\n  $ brew install git-tracker\n  ```\n\n- via [RubyGems][rubygems] :pensive: (if you must)\n\n  ```bash\n  $ gem install git_tracker\n  ```\n\n### 2) Initialize the hook\n\nThen you need to initialize the *git hook* into each local Git repository where\nyou want to use it.\n\n```bash\n# from inside a local Git repository\n# for example: /path/to/repo/\n$ git tracker init\n```\n\nThis will put the `prepare-commit-msg` hook in the `/path/to/repo/.git/hooks`\ndirectory and make it executable.\n\n**NOTE:** The hook needs to be initialized just once for each repository in\nwhich you will use it.\n\n## Usage\n\nWith the hook initialized in a repository, create branches being sure to include\nthe Pivotal Tracker story number in the branch name.\n\n```bash\n$ git checkout -b a_useful_and_helpful_name_8675309\n```\n\nWhen you commit, Git will fire the hook which will find the story number in the\nbranch name and prepare your commit message so that it includes the story number\nin the [special Pivotal Tracke",
