Question

Is it possible to assign tickets or add labels to github issues in a commit message?

Example:

@usera ready for you to sign off for #Testing

where @usera is a user and #Testing is a label ?

Answer 1

Well unfortunately it looks like it isn’t possible without some hackery. I put together a simple sinatra app (that you can throw on heroku) to handle a few new handlers

Github Postcommit Shinies

To assign to a user you can do:

git commit -a -m 'updates #23 assigned =USERNAME';

To add labels you can do:

git commit -a -m 'updates #23 ~QA ~testing'

You can also mix and match:

git commit -a -m 'updates #23 ~QA ~testing =QAUSER'
