Commit Message Links

Gitfox can turn commit-message patterns into clickable links.

Open Repository → Open Link Manager... and choose Commit Message Links.

Each rule has:

• Regular Expression
• Link Template

For example, this commit message:

Fix sidebar refresh bug #123

Can be matched with this regular expression:

#(\d+)

With this link template:

https://example.org/issues/$1

Gitfox turns #123 into a clickable link to https://example.org/issues/123. The $1 placeholder uses the first capture group from the regular expression. You can reference additional capture groups with $2, $3, and so on.

Repository links

The Link Manager also has a Repository Links tab. Add named URLs there, or click Automatic to let Gitfox populate links from repository information when possible.

Link rules are stored with the repository's Gitfox preferences.
