Manage your commits

Learn how to manage commits in your repositories.

After creating several commits or adding a repository with existing commits, it might be important to be able to look back and see the history of the changes. To see a list of all your commits and manage them:

1. Click Repository Settings on the left side menu.

2. Go to the Commits tab.

3. Click the repository you are interested in.

In this view, you can find a list of all your commits, along with the details:

• Name - The name of the commit.

• Commit Date - The date and time the commit was created.

• Repository - The repository the commit belongs to.

• Branch - The branch the commit was added to.

• Added by - The user by whom the commit was added.

You can export the filtered and visible data in the table to a CSV file. To do so, click Export Table located at the top-right corner of the table. For more information, refer to the Export table data topic.

Delete a commit

If you decide you no longer want to see data from a specific repository and remove it, or if you revert a commit on your end, it might be useful to delete a commit from the list to clean up your data. To do so, click the trashcan icon on the far-right column.

Retention time of commit data

Unless you delete the commit data manually, non-default branches will be retained for 30 days, while default branches (main, master) have an unlimited retention period.

Additionally, enterprise users can tag selected commits as a release by adding the flag --tag-commit-as-release=true to the scan command in Fortify SCA CLI. Storing the commit data indefinitely (they can still be manually removed).
