Re: [jakartaee-examples-dev] Git and Pull . . . my hair out and I don't have much left
Hi all, 

I know the sign-off thing usually is something that causes trouble for first-time contributors, me included.
Here is a short video showing how to do this with simple command-line git.

Sent it quickly, the rebase command to add signed-off is

git rebase -f --signoff HEAD~3

--signoff - this will add the signed-off-by line to your commit message with the configured name and email

In your subsequent commits you can use the -s or --signoff option to add it automatically.

git commit -s -m "commit message"

Thanks

You can use the below command to rebase your branch and add Signed-off-by and then force push the branch.

git rebase -f HEAD~3
git push "origin" --force-with-lease master

git rebase - allows you or edit, remove, squash your commits
-f - force option since the same commits will be overridden
HEAD~3 - number of commits you wish to rebase, in your case 3 commits


git push "origin" - to push your changes to remote
--force-with-lease - force push known changes
master - branch to push

When you force push changes to a branch for which you have already created a pull request, the updates will be reflected on the pull request. There is no need to create a new pull request.

Thanks

I believe that each commit needs the signed-off-by tag. You would need to retroactively update all the commits in your PR. (I apologize, the recipe for that has eluded me.)

First, I used the wrong name and email address in the git config. Forced to edit a file meaninglessly to fix this so I could push.

 

I corrected this but now I was told I did not have a signed-off-by section in my commit. Forced to edit a file meaninglessly to fix this so I could push.

 

Correcting this didn’t give me the all clear message.

 

Closed the pull request and created a new pull request believing everything was in place but now I’m told I have not signed the appropriate documents. I really thought I did.

 

I’m sure its my fault, I just don’t know how many things I have done wrong and if I have enough fingers on one hand to count them.

 

I guess I can start over again with a new fork.

 

I await further instructions before I break something important.
