Class FooterLine

  • public final class FooterLine
extends Object
    Single line at the end of a message, such as a "Signed-off-by: someone".

    These footer lines tend to be used to represent additional information about a commit, like the path it followed through reviewers before finally being accepted into the project's main repository as an immutable commit.
