| = commit xxxxxxx: missing Change-Id 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 Change-Id. | |
| 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]. | |
| To avoid this error you should use the link:cmd-hook-commit-msg.html[commit hook] or EGit to | |
| automatically create and insert a unique Change-Id into the commit | |
| message on every commit. | |
| == Missing Change-Id in the commit message | |
| If the commit message of a commit that you want to push does not | |
| contain a Change-Id you have to update its commit message and insert | |
| a Change-Id. | |
| If you want to upload a new change to Gerrit make sure that you have | |
| configured your environment so that a unique Change-Id is | |
| automatically created and inserted on every commit as explained | |
| above. Now you can rewrite the commits for which the Change-Ids are | |
| missing and the Change-Ids will be automatically created and inserted | |
| into the commit messages. This is explained link:error-push-fails-due-to-commit-message.html#commit_hook[here]. | |
| If you want to update an existing change in Gerrit by uploading a new | |
| patch set you should copy its Change-Id from the Gerrit Web UI and | |
| insert it into the commit message. How to update the commit message | |
| is explained link:error-push-fails-due-to-commit-message.html[here]. | |
