Link Issues by Keyword of Commit Message
Date: 2/14/2024 · Tags: #dev, #gitI just knew that you can link a pull request to an issue by using a supported keyword in the pull request's description or in a commit message on GitHub.
- close
- closes
- closed
- fix
- fixes
- fixed
- resolve
- resolves
- resolved
For example, a commit message with the text Fix #32
would close issue 32
automatically.
If you use a keyword to reference a pull request comment in another pull request, the pull requests will be linked. Merging the referencing pull request also closes the referenced pull request.
The syntax for closing keywords depends on whether the issue is in the same repository as the pull request.
