{section: Checklist of things to do before running "git push"}

1: View and examine the commits to push:
{code} git log origin/<branch>..<branch> {endcode}
1:: Check to see if you should combine multiple commits
*::: You should definitely combine if:
*:::: Any of the commits "checkpoints"
*:::: Any of the commits "fix previous commit"
*::: You should consider combining if:
*:::: Any of the commits is a partial implementation
*:::: Two or more of the commits could be considered to be a logical group
*::: See {wiki: GitSquash Squashing git commits} for details on how to do this

1::Verify that any commits that are related to a =GitTrac= ticket have the ticket number in the commit comment.  Examples:
*:::=Fix bug that caused the foo daemon to crash when bar happens {quote:[#123]}=
*:::=Implemented {quote: #234} to allow the user to do something really cool=
*:::=Fixed bug {quote: (#345)} that caused bad things to happen=
