How to define a custom commit message and getting it in GitLogTip?

[mdmoura]

I am using the following in a build.cake file:

var lastCommit = GitLogTip("My repository path");

Information(@"Last commit {0}
    Short message: {1}
    Author:        {2}
    Authored:      {3:yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss}
    Committer:     {4}
    Committed:     {5:yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss}",
    lastCommit.Sha,
    lastCommit.MessageShort,
    lastCommit.Author.Name,
    lastCommit.Author.When,
    lastCommit.Committer.Name,
    lastCommit.Committer.When
 );

But where does the Message, e.g "Added Travis test folding" comes from?

I am using GitVersion to specify the version and I get the following message in GitLogInfo "Version 1.2.0"

I'm sorry, I'm not following on the issue, what's the relation to GitVersion?

GitLogTip will give you the latest commit in repo. So if you great a new commit that'll be what's returned.

@devlead My confusion ... So basically Commits but be done manually on local repository and then GitVersion gets that information and pushes it to Github? I am asking this because I also had GitCommit (http://cakebuild.net/api/Cake.Git/GitCommit/) in my Cake script. So when I run the build script it would add all files and commit to local repository, get the info and then push to Github. But in this case I wasn't sure how to define a custom Commit question. So this was my question.

To push your commit to a remote you use one of the GitPush aliases.
