Project Validation

Validating Each File Before a Commit

To enable automatic validation of each file before a commit, select the Validate each file before committing option in the Git Client preferences page (Git > Settings > Preferences, or Options > Preferences > Plugins > Git Client, or click the Settings button from the toolbar of the Git Staging view and select Preferences).

If validation problems are detected, the commit operation will be stopped and a dialog box will appear informing you that the problems can be viewed in the "Results" area (in the "Git pre-commit validation" tab). If the Reject commit when validation problems occur option is selected, the dialog box will include a Commit anyway button that allows the commit operation to be completed even if validation issues have been found.
