I would like to update every single file’s commit message within GitHub at certain times.
Whenever I make a major upgrade (merging development into stable branch), I would like to commit and push my changes to GitHub such that all of the files, even those which have had no changes, have the same commit message.
Example:
- Development is tested and ready to be merged into Master
- Development is merged into master
- Commit message “New Version: 2.0” is applied to all files (even unchanged files)
- Master branch is pushed to remote (GitHub)
- GitHub displays the same message (“New Version: 2.0”) across every single file/directory
I could go through every file and add a newline to the end of the file, but I feel as though there may be a way to do this from git or github itself.
If you want to track a point in time for things like released, use a tag instead. Don’t “hack” the commit process like you suggest. How would you then find the real diff between checks?
