|

Anyone with admin permissions to a repository can configure autolink references to link issues, pull requests, commit messages, and release descriptions to external third-party services.

Autolink references can now accept alphanumeric characters. When originally introduced, custom autolinks were limited to external resources that used numeric identifiers. Custom autolinks now work with alphanumeric identifiers. Legacy autolink references that recognize only numeric identifiers are deprecated and displayed with a "legacy" label.

Autolink references can now accept alphanumeric characters. When originally introduced, custom autolinks were limited to external resources that used numeric identifiers. Custom autolinks now work with alphanumeric and numeric identifiers.
|
||||
|
||||
You define custom autolinks by specifying a reference prefix and a target URL.
|
||||
- Reference prefixes cannot have overlapping names. For example, a repository cannot have two custom autolinks with prefixes such as `TICKET` and `TICK`, since both prefixes would match the string `TICKET123a`.
|
||||
- Target URLs include a `<num>` variable which supports the following characters: `a-z` (case-insensitive), `0-9`, and `-`.
|
||||
- Target URLs include a `<num>` variable which represents the reference identifier of the linked resource.
