Requirements

1. Git (Optional)

Pivotaly can rely on git branches for an efficient flow. i.e. Pivotaly assumes a single pivotal tracker story corresponds to a single git branch.

A story id is prepended or appended to a git branch to link a story to a branch automatically. e.g ft-edit-read-me-345 will assume 345 is the story id.

2. Pivotal tracker API token

Pivotaly requires an API token for private pivotal tracker boards.

Extension Settings

Pivotaly contributes the following settings:

• pivotaly.protectedBranches: Array of git branches that are ideally not feature branches e.g. master. Pivotaly will not attempt to link a story to git branches added.

• pivotaly.branchDelimiter: Delimiter string or RegExp to use to retrieve story ID. e.g. set to '-' to get id 345 from ft-edit-read-me-345 or '_' to get 345 from ft-edit-read-me_345 or [\/-] to get 678 from feature/678-read-me

Known Issues

Pivotaly may not track check-outs from bare repositories as expected.
