| = commit xxxxxxx: Change-Id must be in message footer |
| |
| With this error message, Gerrit rejects a push of a commit to a project |
| if the commit message of the pushed commit contains a Change-Id line that |
| is not in the footer (the last paragraph). |
| |
| To be picked up by Gerrit, a Change-Id must be in the last paragraph |
| of a commit message. For details, see link:user-changeid.html[Change-Id Lines]. |
| |
| 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 contained in the commit message but not in the last paragraph |
| |
| If the Change-Id is contained in the commit message but not in its |
| last paragraph, you have to update the commit message and move the |
| Change-Id into the last paragraph. How to update the commit message |
| is explained link:error-push-fails-due-to-commit-message.html[here]. |
| |
| To avoid confusion due to a Change-Id that was meant to be picked up by |
| Gerrit not being picked up, this is an error whether or not the project |
| is configured to always require a Change-Id in the commit message. |
