Link to the issue number on GitHub within a commit message

Question

Is it somehow possible to automatically have a link to GitHub issue number in the git commit message?

Answer 1

All you need to do is just include #xxx in your commit message to reference an issue without closing it.

As shown below: 

fix #xxx

fixes #xxx

fixed #xxx

close #xxx

closes #xxx

closed #xxx

resolve #xxx

resolves #xxx

resolved #xxx
