I'm at the beginning of a new project, and I'm trying to set up the repository in a smart fashion and establish some code style guidelines for everyone to be able to concentrate on code. Most of it is done, but I'm still unsure about the format I should enforce for commit messages. I'm all for freedom and just telling people to make the...
I want to modify a commit message deeper in history. And I've pushed many new commits. How do I chnage the commit message? Is it possible? Thanks! ...
I'm using Visual SVN Server and Tortoise SVN (client) for source control. I would like all developers to standardize on a consistent format for checkin notes. For Example I want their Commit Message to default to... Synopsis: Developer Name: (pre-populated) Reviewed By: [Bug Id]: [Change Bug State]: Known Issues: Affected Files:...
Hi there, Currently I have a mailer.py file that sends an email when there is a commit on a particular repository. Anyone knows how to have ONLY emails sent out to the owner of modules (directories) within a repository? Example: http://sigserver/sigrepo1 (everyone gets an email for any commit on this repo1) http://sigserver/sig...
Does anyone have a git commit hook I can use that will ensure a JIRA issue number appears in the checkin message? I've got no experience driving JIRA from a git commit hook so any help would be appreciated -- working source even more so! ...
Possible Duplicates: Any svn:hook script that enforce commit with comments? Creating a Required Comment Hook for Tortoise SVN I often see a slew of commits, but no notes referencing the tickets... And so I end up going back and reviewing the diff manually. Not necessarily bad, but it would be nice to have notes. Any ideas? ...
Background: the current text editor i am using does not have built-in support for git. Nevertheless, it has support for user-created addons, so I made one for auto-commiting to the repository each time I save a file. Although auto-saving to the repository is straightforward, the commit messages currently are not very useful, they just s...
For example, I would prefer to write my commit messages in vim, but it is opening emacs. How do I configure git to always use vim instead? Note that I want to do this globally, not just for a single project. ...
I know this isn't the BEST practice, but every once in a while when I'm merging up a huge batch up changes with the trunk (and I know my branch is current), I will simply delete the contents of the trunk and then copy the contents of my branch up, so that I don't have to deal with resolving conflicts for an hour. The problem is that I s...
I wrote a script which can auto commit in every 10 minutes. But it's commit message always same ("Code saved"). But i want to change some of them which are milestone. This is my auto commit script: cd c:\inetpub\wwwroot\siteCodes svn commit -m "Code Saved" How can i write a script which can give me a chance to write revision number a...
I use "git add -p" to stage my changes. What I'd like to be able to do is to accumulate a commit message as I'm examining my changes and then when I call "git commit", it is already filled out for me and allows me to make changes before I commit. Now, its easy to do with git gui by simply examining the changes and editing the commit mes...
Hi folks, I struggled asking that question but here it is. I am using source control since several years for multiple projects using different systems (svn, hg, git) and I learned how to improve my messages by following guidelines etc. But as far as I can remember I never ever had a look at them afterwards. So ... how do you profit fro...
What are commit messages for? I've always been writing them as an explanation of what I did, but I've recently gotten into a discussion about it with a colleague who writes commit messages explaining why he did. Which one is right, or is there another answer entirely? NOTE: I have absolutely no idea if there is a "right" answer for this...
I need a plumbing command to print the commit message of one given commit - nothing more, nothing less. ...
I want to warn the user if their commit message doesn't follow a certain set of guidelines, and then give them the option to edit their commit message, ignore the warning, or cancel the commit. The problem is that I don't seem to have access to stdin. Below is my commit-msg file: function verify_info { if [ -z "$(grep '$2:.*[a-zA-Z...
I read once that git commit messages should be in the imperative present text, e.g. "Add tests for x". I always find myself using the past tense, e.g. "Added tests for x" though, which feels a lot more natural to me. Here's a recent John Resig commit showing the two in one message: Tweak some more jQuery set results in the manipulat...
Let's say I have 3 unpushed commits. Now I want to change the commit message of the first or second commit (changing them for the third one is simple using git commit --amend). How to do that? ...
Apparently I mistyped my email a long time ago, whenever I was setting up git, and so my email has been incorrect in many repositories (I typed a 0 instead of an o). I sign all of my commits, so in almost every commit in every repo for years it's said signed off by: <[email protected]> instead of signed off by: <[email protected]>. Now I can't jus...
