| not Signed-off-by author/committer/uploader in commit message footer |
| ==================================================================== |
| |
| Projects in Gerrit can be configured to require a link:user-signedoffby.html#Signed-off-by[Signed-off-by] in |
| the footer of the commit message to enforce that every change is signed by the |
| author, committer or uploader. If for a project a Signed-off-by is |
| required and the commit message footer does not contain it, Gerrit rejects |
| to push the commit with this error message. |
| |
| This policy can be bypassed by having the access right |
| link:access-control.html#category_forge_committer['Forge Committer']. |
| |
| This error may happen for different reasons if you do not have the |
| access right to forge the committer identity: |
| |
| . missing Signed-off-by in the commit message footer |
| . Signed-off-by is contained in the commit message footer but it's neither |
| from the author, committer nor uploader |
| . Signed-off-by from the author, committer or uploader is contained |
| in the commit message but not in the footer (last paragraph) |
| |
| To be able to push your commits you have to update the commit |
| messages as explained link:error-push-fails-due-to-commit-message.html[here] so that they contain a Signed-off-by from |
| the author, committer or uploader in the last paragraph. However it |
| is important that you only add a Signed-off-by if you understand the |
| semantics of the link:user-signedoffby.html#Signed-off-by[Signed-off-by] and the commit applies to the rules |
| that are connected with this footer. |
