Add Change-Id to previous commit

I have many commits. But my last commit have not Change-Id. An can not push to Gerrit.

How to add Change-Id to previous commit?

Solution

  • Gerrit provides a commit-msg hook script that will automatically add change-ids to your commits.

    The documentation to which I linked provides instructions for installing it:

    To obtain the commit-msg script use scp, wget or curl to download it to your local system from your Gerrit server.

    You can use either of the below commands:

    $ scp -p -P 29418 <your username>@<your Gerrit review server>:hooks/commit-msg <local path to your git>/.git/hooks/

$ curl -Lo <local path to your git>/.git/hooks/commit-msg <your Gerrit http URL>/tools/hooks/commit-msg

    Once you've installed the commit-msg hook, you can use git commit --amend to update your commit message; when you save it, the hook will add the Change-Id to the message.
