External Git WorkItem Integration

This task allows you to associate external git changes with a specific Work Item Almatoolbox Logo

**Description The main objective of this task is to allow the association of a change made on an external Git repository with an existing Work Item, which has to be specified in the commit message through the #

The necessary precondition to use this task is to define the external git repository as a Service endpoint in your VSTS Project. You have to set it as the source remote repository in the build that will execute the task.

Example:

commit abb3398596074acb4f44e35b5b395ff70e11d5fc
Author: Mazzocca Gabriele 
Date:   Mon Jun 26 13:01:53 2017 +0200

    last commit #564

After the task is executed, you will find in Work Item 564 the hyperlink to the changeset referred to the last commit in the external Git repository. If you sort hyperlinks list by comment, you will have the history of commits related to Work Item 564. We suggest the build that executes the task to be in continuous integration in order to capture all the changes done in the external repository.
