| = commit xxxxxxx: missing subject; Change-Id must be in message footer |
| |
| With this error message Gerrit rejects to push a commit to a project |
| which is configured to always require a Change-Id in the commit |
| message if the commit message of the pushed commit does not contain |
| a subject and a message, but only a Change-Id. |
| |
| This error happens if the Change-Id is the only line in the commit |
| message. |
| |
| You can see the commit messages for existing commits in the history |
| by doing a link:http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-log.html[git log,role=external,window=_blank]. |
| |
| == Change-Id is the only line in the commit message |
| |
| Gerrit does not parse the subject of a commit message for the |
| Change-Id even if this is the only and last paragraph of the commit |
| message. |
| |
| If the Change-Id is the only line in the commit message you must update |
| the commit message and insert a subject as the first line in the commit |
| message. The Change-Id must be in the last paragraph of the commit |
| message, i.e. separated from the subject by a blank line. How to update |
| the commit message is explained |
