GithubCommitIssue Tracking

Github Problem Overview

I find a lot of answers on how to reference a GitHub issue in a git comment (using the #xxx notation). I'd like to reference a commit in my comment, generating a link to the commit details page?

Solution 1 - Github

To reference a commit, simply write its SHA-hash, and it'll automatically get turned into a link.

Answer above is missing an example which might not be obvious (it wasn't to me).

Url could be broken down into parts

https://github.com/liufa/Tuplinator/commit/f36e3c5b3aba23a6c9cf7c01e7485028a23c3811
                  \_____/\________/       \_______________________________________/
                   |        |                              |
            Account name    |                      Hash of revision
                        Project name

Hash can be found here (you can click it and will get the url from browser).

Hope this saves you some time.

Solution 3 - Github

Just paste the commit referencing link in the comment github automatically mentions the commit on the comment.

Solution 4 - Github

If you are trying to reference a commit in another repo than the issue is in, you can prefix the commit short hash with reponame@.

Suppose your commit is in the repo named dev, and the GitLab issue is in the repo named test. You can leave a comment on the issue and reference the commit by dev@e9c11f0a (where e9c11f0a is the first 8 letters of the sha hash of the commit you want to link to) if that makes sense.

Solution 5 - Github

I don't think anyone answered the question as asked, perhaps it wasn't possible a decade ago.

However now, as per the github documentation a hash is not required. It can be done thusly:

Individual account

> Username/Repository# and issue or pull request number

example: for the issue at https://github.com/aUser/user-repo/issues/23

use: aUser/user-repo#26

Organization

> Organization_name/Repository# and issue or pull request number

example: for the issue at https://github.com/an-org/theirproject/issues/1000

use: an-org/theirproject#1000
