Force comment on commit

Hi. We are using Source Control for GitHub and would like to force the developer to put a description on commit. (Like in Visual Studio). Is there an option to force that?

Hi,

This is not currently supported in SQL Source Control. We have a uservoice request for this feature: https://redgate.uservoice.com/forums/39019-sql-source-control/suggestions/18580312-require-a-commit-message-for-git please feel free to vote for it.

This is really fallout from SQL Source Control not honoring hooks, due to its use of gitlib2, which is referenced by the following uservoice request:

https://redgate.uservoice.com/forums/39019-sql-source-control/suggestions/33730249-sql-source-control-git-hook-support

Up votes on that request item might prove more useful and productive to you.

If it honored hooks, you would create a simple hook that required a commit message which you may already have in place. Visual Studio suffered the same failing until it converted away from using gitlib2 into directly calling the git.exe executable as of VS 2017.
