Re: [O] using org mode and git efficiently

[Torsten Wagner]

Hi,

there exist a contrib 

http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-git-link.html

which allows you to link to specific versions of a file under git control.

Thus, you can describe a error/feature/behavior in a file and make sure the description remains valid even if you change the file in the mean time.

E.g. you can document your bug fixing with ¨before¨ and ¨after¨ links.

 

I believe that this is a very important feature if you work with git and org

Greetings

Torsten

Try
        C-x v g and/or C-x v l

in your version controlled Org file.

In conventional prog-modes, while preparing a ChangeLog entry
        C-x 4 a

can identify the function where the change was made.  I don't whether in
Org-mode the nearest headline (which qualifies as 'nearest function')
gets picked up.  If not, you can make a feature request.
