Notifications

Plan on receiving a lot of notifications?

@ mentions

Not only like Twitter

/cc syntax (an abbreviation for carbon copy) to include people in issues.

You can configure how you receive notifications in your settings.

Create a Team- browser-bugs under the @myorg organization, you can reference the team with @mentions:

/cc @myorg/browser-bugs

This will send notifications to every member of that team.

References

On the timeline of the referenced issue, a link will appear. 

References

  • Issue in another repository? Just include the repository before the name like kneath/example-project#42.

​

  • reference from commits. Include the issue number inside of the commit message.

prefacing your commits with “Fixes”, “Fixed”, “Fix”, “Closes”, “Closed”, or “Close” when the commit is merged into master, it will also automatically close the issue
