World 5: Teamwork

Link PRs to issues

You will learn: how "Closes #12" makes an issue close by itself when a PR merges.

The problem

Mei’s events page was merged last week. But issue #9 is still open! Someone must close it by hand. Do it now.

Practice repo — not a real website
kelab-kod / club-site
Add a club events page #9
Open #9 opened by aina
Labels

    List our next events with dates.

  2. aina commented

    The events page is live. Is this issue done?

Watch

A closing keyword: Words like Closes #9 in a pull request. When it merges into the default branch, issue 9 closes. goes in the PR description. When the PR merges into main, the issue closes by itself. Tap the magic line.

Tap the line that will close an issue.

Your review

You did it!

You can now link a PR to an issue, so it closes by itself.

Go deeper (optional)

All nine keywords: close, closes, closed, fix, fixes, fixed, resolve, resolves, resolved. For an issue in another repo, write Fixes owner/repo#100. For several issues, repeat the keyword: Closes #10, closes #11. A keyword in a commit message works too, once it reaches the default branch.
