• Commit Comments

    defunkt 10 Apr 2008

    In the past, maybe 100 years ago, I worked at a company where the diff of each commit was emailed to the developers. If anyone had a comment or question, they’d “reply-all” and top-post their remark. Efficient, but oh so messy. Especially as the threads grew.

    Enter: commit comments. We saw the Django Book and instantly knew this was the best (and coolest) solution.

    Leave a comment at the bottom of any commit, or on a single line. Up to you. Comments show up in your feed and each repository has its own comment feed.

    On the commits log or the source browser, commits that have been commented on will be marked with a comment bubble.

    Try it on the Facebox commit and have fun.

    I was just on the fence about leaving github for my preexisting gitosis setup because I am too damn cheap to pay 7 bucks, but this tipped me back over to your side. Keep up the shiny groupware additions, this is great.

    Will you be adding this to the standard file source view? Some times it is difficult to find the commit for a particular chunk of code, or github can throw a “This is taking too long” error when viewing a commit and not show you anything.

    Sorry, the specific error message is “Sorry, this commit is taking too long to generate.”

    For example, commit: http://github.com/jrun/rstack/commit/6c7c81bf3ea672f669f9e2d7238fb826d23ef133

    Is there going to be a way to expose the comments beyond the web interface? Maybe as its own branch or something?

    Can we get emails about comments on our commits?

    Thanks! I don;t use comment feature on my site because it offers web hosting and we simply don't need to expose much from users' side. But I like this information. Maybe later for my personal blog.

    Lol, in the past maybe, around 50 years ago (since I am younger than you are), we sent emails to business partners and printed the document for database since there was no such big storage like we have now. Attachments were also sent in fractions because the capacity was not that large at all. ;) korean japanese clothing
