Pivotal Tracker service

This service adds commit messages as comments to Pivotal Tracker stories.

Once enabled, commit messages are checked for square brackets containing a hash mark followed by the story ID (for example, [#555]). Every story ID found gets the commit comment added to it.

You can also close a story with a message containing: fix [#555]. You can use any of these words:

  • fix
  • fixed
  • fixes
  • complete
  • completes
  • completed
  • finish
  • finished
  • finishes
  • delivers
