Commit message - interactive link to issue tracker

[smangels]

Problem description Links to web-based issue trackers are used in software development projects. A user (software developer) to enable a feature rendering these text based tickets IDs (i.e. ARTINFO-12345) into a highlighted interactive link that allows him to immediately browse this issue.

Preferred solution

A regular expression in the project-specific configuration (very like the one used in the Gerrit configuration maybe?).

Code example

[commentlink "changeid"] match = (ART[A-Z]+-[0-9]+) link = "https://jira.example.com/browse/$1"

Yes they are related. But what I mean is that there should be code that renders a STRING into an interactive link ARTINFO-12345 into ARTINFO-12345 and that a user should be able to configure it as described above.

It would be nice if .issuetracker files were supported as well.

+1 by me.

@natronite Do you have a link that explains what you mean? What are these files?
