An ability to log status information with your commits is a feature provided by many source control repository managers. Its availability and operation will differ according to your provider.
For example, the status checks feature of GitHub will mark each commit listed in the GitHub UI with the build status received, and the details of the status log can be viewed by clicking the mark. The build status log data can also be retrieved through the GitHub REST APIs

Similarly, the build status feature in Bitbucket Server displays the build status for the commit in the Bitbucket UI, and makes that information available through REST resources.
