URLs
GitHub Enterprise Server automatically creates links from standard URLs.
Visit https://github.com
For more information on creating links, see "Basic writing and formatting syntax."
Issues and pull requests
Within conversations on GitHub Enterprise Server, references to issues and pull requests are automatically converted to shortened links.
Note: Autolinked references are not created in wikis or files in a repository.
| Reference type | Raw reference | Short link |
|---|---|---|
| Issue or pull request URL | https://github.com/jlord/sheetsee.js/issues/26 | #26 |
# and issue or pull request number | #26 | #26 |
GH- and issue or pull request number | GH-26 | GH-26 |
Username/Repository# and issue or pull request number | jlord/sheetsee.js#26 | jlord/sheetsee.js#26 |
Organization_name/Repository# and issue or pull request number | github-linguist/linguist#4039 | github-linguist/linguist#4039 |
Labels
When referencing the URL of a label in Markdown, the label is automatically rendered. Only labels of the same repository are rendered, URLs pointing to a label from a different repository are rendered as any URL.
The URL of a label can be found by navigating to the labels page and clicking on a label. For example, the URL of the label "enhancement" in our public docs repository is
https://github.com/github/docs/labels/enhancement
Note: If the label name contains a period (.), the label will not automatically render from the label URL.
Commit SHAs
References to a commit's SHA hash are automatically converted into shortened links to the commit on GitHub Enterprise Server.
| Reference type | Raw reference | Short link |
|---|---|---|
| Commit URL | https://github.com/jlord/sheetsee.js/commit/a5c3785ed8d6a35868bc169f07e40e889087fd2e | a5c3785 |
| SHA | a5c3785ed8d6a35868bc169f07e40e889087fd2e | a5c3785 |
| User@SHA | jlord@a5c3785ed8d6a35868bc169f07e40e889087fd2e | jlord@a5c3785 |
Username/Repository@SHA | jlord/sheetsee.js@a5c3785ed8d6a35868bc169f07e40e889087fd2e | jlord/sheetsee.js@a5c3785 |
Troubleshooting referencing commit SHAs
When referencing a commit from a private repository inside of a commit message, the commit SHA will only be shortlinked if at least one of the authors or committers of the commit have at least read access to the referenced commit.
Custom autolinks to external resources
If custom autolink references are configured for a repository, then references to external resources, like a JIRA issue or Zendesk ticket, convert into shortened links. To know which autolinks are available in your repository, contact someone with admin permissions to the repository. For more information, see "Configuring autolinks to reference external resources."
