Desired:
I’d like to be have my git commits reference some higher order/level task or todo list.
Background:
I use Git as my version control. Now, DVCS is great. A great side effect is that the log should contain, with some care, an atomic list of the actions taken to achieve a task. This is the bottom level of a ‘knowledge base‘ really, since a third party, reading the log would know what actions were taken to solve a problem. That’s nice.
Now , I am seeking a way to link ‘todo list’ or more generally, higher level tasks to my commits.
ie: "Resolving task $TASK":
- commit log entry 1
- commit log entry 2
- commit log entry 3
The end result would be a task linked with the atomic actions used to achieve it, which for many tasks would become a knowledge base , ticketing and project management solution.
Does something like this exist? Or do I have to fall back to a wiki or something?
It’a more the opposite direction but there are issue tracker (e.g. Redmine) who can detect ticket numbers in the commit message and link commits to the related ticket.
