[Feature req] - easy ammending of commit messages
I love the idea behind the git filter-repo --tag-rename '':'my-module-' command.
I want the same no-hassle way to add "anchors" to the commit messages.
This can be done placing a regex into the "expression.txt" but this feels a lot of boilerplate for a simple straightforward usecase.
So i wish for a new option to insert a specific text
- In the beginning of every message
git filter-repo --add-to-message "[MyLib]"git filter-repo --add-to-message BOF:"[MyLib]"git filter-repo --add-to-message BOL:"[MyLib]"git filter-repo --add-to-message BOLN:"[MyLib]"
Commit messages:
Old: #345 no more crashing on negative numbers
New: [MyLib] #345 no more crashing on negative numbers - notice the auto-added space
see the "EOF" option below, maybe the "BOF" option should prepend the commit message with a new line for homogenity? But i won't think this would have a practical use. Maybe "BOF" option should just not exist.
- After the first word of a message (guessing that would be an issue reference), ideally accounting for
[({<bracket pairs and quotes, if the first words starts with any.
git filter-repo --add-to-message WORD:"[MyLib]"git filter-repo --add-to-message 2W:"[MyLib]"git filter-repo --add-to-message NEXT:"[MyLib]"
Commit messages:
Old: #345 no more crashing on negative numbers
New: #345 [MyLib] no more crashing on negative numbers
- Before the end of the first line
git filter-repo --add-to-message EOL:"[MyLib]"git filter-repo --add-to-message EOLN:"[MyLib]"
Commit messages:
Old: #345 no more crashing on negative numbers
New: #345 no more crashing on negative numbers [MyLib]
- Before the end of a whole (potentially multi-line) message, in a newly appended line
git filter-repo --add-to-message EOF:"[MyLib]"

Also, about auto-delimiting:
git filter-repo --add-to-message '[MyLib] '
New: [MyLib] #345 no more crashing on negative numbers - same result, just using the explicit space instead of implicit.
git filter-repo --add-to-message '[MyLib] '
New: [MyLib] #345 no more crashing on negative numbers - two space delimeters were explicitly requested, and added
git filter-repo --add-to-message ' [MyLib]'
New: [MyLib] #345 no more crashing on negative numbers - there was no explicit delimiter RIGHT of the added anchor, so still using impicit delimiter there
git filter-repo --add-to-message-no-delims '[MyLib]'
New: [MyLib]#345 no more crashing on negative numbers - implicit adding spaces was explicitly suppressed
No response; I'll assume my suggestion solved your problem. Feel free to reopen if that's not the case.
