Smart commits helper

The smart commit helper is available at the following locations in Jira:

  • Issue ➜ Git Commits tab

  • Projects (sidebar) ➜ Git Commits

  • Repository Browser (View all repositories) ➜ click a repository ➜ Latest commits

A smart commit helper indicator is displayed to the right of the user/commit author:

Status Description
COMMIT The Smart Commits setting is enabled for the repository but there is no smart commit keyword in the commit message.
SMART COMMIT The commit message has a valid smart commit structure and was successfully
SMART COMMIT ERROR There was an error during smart commit processing. For example, invalid keyword; commit author and Jira user are not the same; permission issues or wrong values.

 

The smart commit helper status are not shown:

  • for any smart commits that were made before VERSION 2.9.3 of Git Integration for Jira app.

  • for smart commits that were ignored due to Smart commits setting for that repository is disabled.

  • for smart commits that have not been processed yet.

  • for processed commits with ticket ID but without smart commit keyword when Smart commits setting is disabled for that repository.

When Smart commits setting is Disabled for that repository, the Git Integration for Jira app will not show the COMMIT indicators.

 

Refer to the commit message case examples below:

Commit ID Commit Message
Commit1 Merged to master
(This commit message does not contain a Jira issue key)
Commit2 TST-1 Merged to master
(This commit message has a Jira issue key but does not have a smart commit keyword)
Commit3 TST-1 Merged to master #done
(This commit message has an issue key and a valid smart commit transition keyword)
Commit4 TST-1 Merged to master #unknownSCkeyword
(This commit message has an invalid smart commit keyword)

 

When Smart commits setting (SC) was set to ENABLED:

Commit ID Status after SC=Disabled Status after SC=Enabled
Commit1 Commit is ignored since issue key is not provided. Commit is ignored since issue key is not provided.
Commit2 No status indicator. COMMIT
Commit3 SMART COMMIT SMART COMMIT
Commit4 SMART COMMIT ERROR SMART COMMIT ERROR

 

When Smart commits setting (SC) was set to DISABLED:

Commit ID Status after SC=Disabled Status after SC=Enabled
Commit1 Commit is ignored since issue key is not provided. Commit is ignored since issue key is not provided.
Commit2 No status indicator. No status indicator because it was marked as ignored.
Commit3 No status indicator. No status indicator because it was marked as ignored.
Commit4 No status indicator. No status indicator because it was marked as ignored.
The commit status shown on the Issue page depends on the Smart commits setting that was set at the time the commits were processed.
