It is nice that git has the short-hand for adding Signed-off-by, but
adding other tags during reviews is kind of tedious and long winded.
eg "ACK" is much shorter than typing "Reviewed-by: ...blah blah
blah.."
Good editors have a way to setup macros though, and so I thought I'd
share the emacs approach to making life easy again...
In my $HOME/.emacs.d/abbrev_defs file I have this:
(define-abbrev-table 'global-abbrev-table
'(
("8rev" "Reviewed-by: Daniel P. Berrangé
<berrange(a)redhat.com>" nil 1)
("8ack" "Acked-by: Daniel P. Berrangé
<berrange(a)redhat.com>" nil 1)
("8test" "Tested-by: Daniel P. Berrangé
<berrange(a)redhat.com>" nil 1)
("8sob" "Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrangé
<berrange(a)redhat.com>" nil 1)
))
Now, if I type the "8rev" [1] and then hit space-bar or enter, emacs expands
it to the full "Reviewed-by: ....blah blah blah..." line. This makes adding
the full tags just as quick & easy as it was to type a traditional "ACK".
Anyone have an equivalent tip for Vim ?
Yes:
iabbrev ackby Acked-by: Bjoern Walk <bwalk(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com>
iabbrev repby Reported-by: Bjoern Walk <bwalk(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com>
iabbrev revby Reviewed-by: Bjoern Walk <bwalk(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com>
iabbrev sigby Signed-off-by: Bjoern Walk <bwalk(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com>
iabbrev suggby Suggested-by: Bjoern Walk <bwalk(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com>
iabbrev testby Tested-by: Bjoern Walk <bwalk(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Should work identical to the emacs version.
