Title and comment with the link to the respective OpenProject work package will be prefilled, at least if there is only one commit to the branch. The link needs to be in the PR and not in a commit but GitHub will use the first commit message as the proposed branch description (as long as there is only one commit). Using the value in the ‘Commit message’ input thus helps you to establish that link. Within the ‘Git snippets’ menu, OpenProject suggests a commit message for you based on the title and the URL of the work package.Ī URL pointing to a work package within a pull request description or a comment will lead to the two entities becoming linked. Once you are satisfied with the changes you create a commit. With the branch opened, you can start the actual development work using whatever tool you deem to be the best (it is VIM BTW), to alter your codebase. That way, all the branches will follow a common pattern and as the OpenProject ID is included in the branch name, it will be easy to see the connection between a PR and a work package when taking a look at a list of PRs on GitHub. There, you create your branch with the name you copied from your OpenProject work package. First, copy the branch name by clicking the corresponding button.

Click on ‘Git snippets’ to extend the menu. For that, open the GitHub tab in your OpenProject work package detail view. Pull request activities will also show up in the Activity tab when the pull request isĪs pull requests are based on branches, a new branch needs to be created first. PRs and work packages are in an n:m relationship, so a work package can be linked to multiple PRs and a PR can be linked to multiple work packages.Īdditionally, in your OpenProject work package, the GitHub integration supports you to create a branch straight from the work package and consequently the matching pull request. ‘success’ or ‘queued’) of the GitHub actions configured to run for a PR. ‘Open’ or ‘Merged’) as well as the state (e.g. The tab shows all PRs linked to a work package with their corresponding status (e.g.

OpenProject work packages will directly display information from GitHub in a separate tab. You create a pull request in GitHub and link it to an OpenProject work package. OpenProject offers an integration with GitHub pull requests (PRs) to link software development closely to planning and specification.
