Is there a git analog to svn: bugtraq properties?

Question

I am looking for specs or recommendations on how the Git client should integrate with bug tracking systems. For SVN there is bugtraq: -properties. Is there something similar for git?

Answer 1

It seems like there is currently no such specification, I started:

https://github.com/mstrap/bugtraq

Answer 2

You can put this in your /.git/config file to work with TortoiseGit:

 [bugtraq] url = http://jira.com:8080/browse/ number = false warnifnoissue = true message = http://jira.com:8080/browse/%BUGID% label = Issue number append = false 

Answer 3

One way would be to use git notes (which I describe in detail here ) to store a ' bugtrag ' note on top of any regular commit (for example, in the notes/bugtraq ).

This would allow integrating without overwriting the repo history after the git that are already present.

Answer 4

Integration of error trackers with git usually works by analyzing git commit messages in the error tracker.

i.e. you indicate “fixes # 1234” or “binds # 1332” in your message, and the error tracker establishes a connection.

• eg. redmine: http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/RedmineSettings#Referencing-issues-in-commit-messages

• eg. github: https://help.github.com/articles/closing-issues-via-commit-messages

Answer 5

Rarely does a question arise that were not asked before. There is already a popular standard for project information, such as a link to bugtracker and much more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOAP (Project Description)
