Metadata Actions

ParseTrailers

Arguments

commit_metadata

In Git, trailers are key-value pairs written inside of commit messages that, make things like issue references programmatically accessible. For example, the following commit message:

Awesome new feature

Some details about this commit

Closes: #1234

The last line is an example for a trailer. It consists of a token (Closes), a separator (:), and a value (#1234).

This action will convert the above commit message to:

Awesome new feature

Some details about this commit

And add set metadata.trailers.Closes to #1234 for easy reference in the template.
