[PATCH] gitk: Add a "Copy commit summary" command

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Beat Bolli <dev+git@xxxxxxxxx>

When referencing earlier commits in new commit messages or other text,
one of the established formats is

    commit <abbrev-sha> ("<summary>", <author-date>)

Add a "Copy commit summary" command to the context menu that puts this
text for the currently selected commit on the clipboard. This makes it
easy for our users to create well-formatted commit references.
