We use several other repositories/review systems than Gerrit (Github, Differential, Gitlab etc). It would be nice to use the same commit hook for all of them, but right now it requires the Gerrit-specific Change-Id footer. It would be nice if that was optional. (Not sure how to pull that off; it could check the URL of the upstream repository, but I doubt a post-commit hook has access to that. Maybe a command line option for the installer?)

Gerrit supports not having a change id, but dosen't support i think having a change reviewed without a change id due to it using that to update changes when you need to make further modifications.
Not including change id may cause other side effects too. Zuul uses the change id too (i think).
I did read it first. You want to use the same hook for GitHub, differential, gitlab and gerrit. But doint want to be forced to use the gerrit change id.
but I doubt a post-commit hook has access to that
I think you can shell out to git remote get-url origin probably.

[integration/commit-message-validator@master] Make Change-Id optional in non-gerrit repositories
I think it'd be neat if this tool was using a library like GitPython instead of calling git from shell. We could get some advantages like increased test coverages (especially for this task which we need to make a test with repository that the remote upstream is from gerrit and another repository that the remote upstream is not from gerrit such as GitHub). Just a suggestion though.. :)

[integration/commit-message-validator@master] Add GitHubMessageValidator and add logic to switch the MessageValidator
Change 402775 abandoned by John Vandenberg:
Make Change-Id optional in non-gerrit repositories
Reason:
this is replaced with I862bf4
Change 404156 merged by jenkins-bot:
[integration/commit-message-validator@master] Add GitHubMessageValidator and add logic to switch the MessageValidator
I've added a follow up GCI task to implement this in a Wikimedia project hosted on GitHub.

Closing as resolved since the necessary functionality has been implemented in commit-message-validator AFAIS.
