Comments - Do you enforce comments with check-ins?
Updated by Brady Stroud [SSW] 1 year ago. See history
You should have good comments... if you are struggling use Excuses For Lazy Coders :)
❌ Figure: Bad Example: No Comments against the check-ins we don’t know what changes were made in each revision
✅ Figure: Good Example: Now we can pin point which revision a particular change has been made
In Visual Studio 2013, to enforce this behaviour, you will need to:
Figure: Go to Team Explorer | Source Control
Figure: Then Check-in Policy | Add
Figure: Then select Changeset Comments Policy and OK
Figure: Now you have the Changeset Comments Policy applied to your Team Project
Now the next time someone checks-in some code, they are forced to enter a comment.
