Git: Push to a remote repository with a message

Question

My company is incorporating iRise for prototyping and it lacks any kind of versioning (unless making copies of your files with different file names = versioning). Anyway, we\'re

Answer 1

I think the question is legitimate, and is not completely answered by the answer above. Here is a workflow we use at our company (we use git flow):

1. git flow feature start myFeature
2. git commit -m 'commit for feature myFeature prior to code review'
3. initiate code collaborator review with the commit above.
4. git commit -m 'commit for code review comments/changes for myFeature round1'
5. <same as above, maybe round2>
6. git flow feature finish myFeature
   • this merges to local develop branch, and deletes myFeature branch
7. git push origin develop

Now it would be real nice if we could add a message like this during the push Step 7. like this:

git push -m 'Feature is code complete, code collaborator review ids 1234, 1235.' origin develop

Definitely, not a trivial case where someone is trying to push without commits, but a very useful step where you are annotating a specific push with metadata that provides some audit trail.

Answer 2

You will have to do a commit ( after adding files)

git commit -m 'message'

and then push:

git push TestProject master

You cannot associate a message to the push.
