Enable ClickUp URLs in commit messages for GitHub integration
R
Richard Allen
To link tasks from GitHub, currently we have to use the ClickUp task ID in one of a few certain formats. It would be nice to support URLs, a universal resource locator format that is common to many web systems, like so:
ExampleOld: #1abc2de
ExampleNew: https://app.clickup.com/t/1abc2de

Adding task URL on a GitLab commit creates a URL in the task

From support:
I would like to know if using a task link (for instance https://app.clickup.com/t/#taskid) on a GitLab commit could create a task link at ClickUp?
I see that putting task id (for instance #27vg49) at the commit or merge request it links to ClickUp task automatically, but using the URL would be really awesome.
For now our commits have a Trello task related, so we put trello card URLs in the commit, for instance:
------- A current commit message ------
Fix bug X, Y and Z
- Other details about this commit
---------------------------------------------------
----- The way we would love to do -----
Fix bug X, Y and Z
- Other details about this commit
---------------------------------------------------
Allowing to use url to link task has, in my opinion, some advantages:
- Easier to developers to retrieve it - just copy from address bar
- Easier to have this written correctly on commits: commit lines can't begin with # in terminal editors, so our developers would use something like "ClickUp task #27vg49" as the last commit line
- It's more meaningful: anyone that sees that commit in the future will know that the task related was on ClickUp (maybe even opening it!)
I know JIRA works that way (auto link using task urls on commit). I couldn't find a discussion related on the web (I saw only https://docs.clickup.com/en/articles/856274-task-ids), but it's a feature I really would like to suggest.
