I noticed some issues on Rails were marked as closed via commits. Does this mean that someone with commit privileges has committed a fix? Why is this not marked as a merge? Because the person actually has a checkout of the master branch?
Thanks
Edit
Example:
https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/4277
You’ll notice tenderlove has committed 55cc16f. Why is that a commit and not a pull?
All this means is that a commit has been pushed to Github with a commit message indicating it closes the issue.
It doesn’t necessarily mean that that commit has been merged into the repository’s main branch, but you can certainly click through to the commit to get hold of the code that was marked as fixing the issue.
