Change packages is an
AccuRev feature that associates changes made to an element with a specific issue in an issue tracking system; users are required
to specify that issue number each time they promote changes out of a workspace. To enable change packages for your Git commits
you need to do the following:
- In
AccuRev, ensure that change packages are configured on the relevant
AccuRev Server. See the
AccuRev on-line Help, which includes all the current
AccuRev documentation. Use the index and search mechanisms in the on-line Help to learn how to configure change packages, and optionally,
third-party issue tracking systems (ITS) if you are using something other than
AccuWork.
- In
GitCentric, specify the ITS you are using and the format of the
Git commit message you will require users to follow when pushing commits. You specify this information on the
AccuRev Connector panel of the
Repositories page as described in this section.
Once you have enable change packages, you must inform your users of the requirement to add comments to their commits in the
format you choose. The process for using a regular expression to specify the commit message format is described in the following
section.
