FAQ

How to update tickets from commit comments

You can use commit comments to link your changesets to Assembla tickets, and add comments to tickets or change their status.

Use "re #4" to link your commit to ticket #4.
Also, "references", "refs" and "see" will add a comment to the target ticket.
Use "<status> #4" to set ticket #4 to the target status. For example, "Test #4" or "Fixed #4".
Use "<status> #tickets" or "re #tickets" to reference all affected tickets in merge request.
