github some cool feature

[bernd]

For a long time I was looking for some simple possibility to show the commit list starting at aspecific commit. Just realized this is really really easy. If you have the specific commit like in the following screen.

just add a "s" to commit and it will look like this:

I'm quite excited that is why I just like to show this to you guys. Bernd

just add a "s"

Thanks for sharing. Now as you became a Master Of Git: Where do have to put the "s" in order to see the FreeCAD version number belonging to a certain commit?

Sorry I wasn't very serious and I didn't make myself clear: I was asking for a simple possibility to derive the FreeCAD version number - e.g. 13180, 13181, ... from the git commit number. Now I compare the git number on the FreeCAD site with the single numbers in the list on git.

Some other tips:

• Add .patch or .diff after a commit or PR ex. https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/pull/1268.patch
• Go to https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/ and press 't' (this opens up https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/find/master )

this discussion tells how to find the version number of current branch. So you could checkout commit 12345678 then use rev-list to find the version number.

I think I know where chrisb is going with this.

Imagine the following without a git clone on your system.
wmayer makes a classic "git commit 12345" post on the forum in response to a bug/feature request.
Wow, this is great, what version does this correspond to? (Maybe we can use the GitHub web API)
Wow, this is even more great, I wonder if the "daily" builds have this yet? (maybe there is a way to use the GitHub Releases API and/or Launchpad API)

This has the makings of a pretty nifty macro tied to a global custom toolbar.

And you are right, that is exactly the usecase I had in mind. Perhaps the development download page could tell which version the current ppa has.

Not directly without some fancy webhooks I don't know.
I could add a link like I posted above in the release desciption? Would that help?

Sorry to highjack the thread bernd Your next task is to show the commits before the referenced commit. I will try -s

Yes. And thanks for the effort.
