Using smart commits (Integration basics)

Smart commits enable users to perform actions on Jira issues from a single commit. In a commit message, enter the issue key and some desired action such as resolving an issue, closing an issue, time tracking or all of them.


For example, if a user wants to log specified time with worklog comment, adds a comment, and resolve the issue TEST-100, enter the commit message as follows:

TEST-100 #time 2h 30m Fixed code #comment Merge to master #resolve

Enable/disable this feature via:

  • Connect to Git Repository wizard

  • Connect to Git Repository ➜ Advanced setup

  • Apps/Applications ➜ Manage repositories ➜ Actions ➜ Edit Repository
