Your commit messages should include the ID of the issue your code belongs to.
Our preferred syntax prefixes the issue title with its ID in brackets, e.g. [FOO-123] Avatars for users.
Here is how to generate that from an issue in Linear.
Add a new link to your browser's bookmarks bar with the following URL.
javascript:(async () => {
let output;
if (document.querySelector('[data-view-id="issue-view"]')) {
const [id, ...words] = document.title.split(' ');
output = `[${id}] ${words.join(' ')}`;
} else {
let text;
try {
text = await navigator.clipboard.readText();
} catch (error) {
return alert('Error: Access to clipboard required');
}
const titles = [...text.matchAll(/\[((?:\\.|[^\]\\])+)\]\([^)]*\)/g)]
.map(match => match[1].replace(/\\(.)/g, '$1').trim().replace(/^([A-Z]+-\d+):?\s*/, '[$1] '))
.filter(Boolean);
if (!titles.length) {
return alert('Error: No linear issues selected');
}
output = titles.join('; ');
}
prompt('Commit message:', output);
})();
- When viewing an issue, you can now click that link to open a browser prompt where you can Ctrl+C your commit message.
- When selecting multiple issues with (Press X on highlighted issues and CTRL+C to copy all to the clipboard), you can now click that link to open a browser prompt where you can Ctrl+C your commit message.
