[n4js-dev] git commit messages, users and configuration

Dear N4JS Developers,

Maybe you need a different author and mail for the eclipse repository as well.


From the Eclipse handbook:

Example Git Commit Record
commit d6cf52411377a039fc2906378711091a26e932cb
Author: Some Body <somebody@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> 1
Date:   Wed May 29 16:17:36 2013 +0200

    Bug 350686 - Hide unwanted action bar items 2

    This change hides unwanted 'Link with Editor' and
    'Customize View...' items from the local toolbar
    and the view menu.

    Change-Id: Ia2bd5091303d1b0a738157effc24e4dac5a7d0c7 3
    Also-by: Some Bodyelse <somebodyelse@xxxxxxxxxxx> 4
    Signed-off-by: Some Body <somebody@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> 5
1	The email address of the author must match the email address on
	the Eclipse Foundation account.
2	Best practice: include the bug id in the commit message summary.
3	Gerrit change id (only when pushing to Gerrit for review).
4	Additional authors can be added using Also-by entries.
5 Non-committers must sign-off the commit using the same email address as used in the author field.

The important thing is (1). So you may need to change your mail address and name for the eclipse project only.
This is how you can do that:

Best regards,
