• Migrate all old related artifact links to the new link types in one go (before it sometimes needed to be opened multiple times).

v2.3.0

New features:

• Save issues and merge/pull requests using custom link types (instead of as related artifacts)
  • Maintains full compatibility with links previously created using the plugin
  • Also moves links contained in the work item that were created as related artifacts to their custom link type (just by opening the plugin)

Improvements:

• Issues are now the default selected type of items to link (previously was commits)

  • This will create a new issue in GitLab/GitHub filled with the data from the current work item
  • The new issue is also linked to the work item
• Added support for using issue templates from GitLab/GitHub
  • This will look for an issue template named "rtc-work-item-v1.md" in the git repository
  • If it finds a template it will be used to format the new issue
  • The template uses Handlebars syntax and can access all work item attributes making it very configurable
  • The template also allows for work item attributes containing markdown to be rendered correctly as markdown (otherwise they will be rendered as HTML which is also supported by markdown)

Improvements:

• Changed the icons (now using nice font-awesome icons)
• The view no longer scrolls to the top when a new item to link is added/removed
• Refactored the presentation code
• Fixed a bug with the way that git commit links are encoded (had problems with some special characters)

Initial working release

This is the initial release of the rtc-git-connector widget for the IBM Jazz RTC work item editor.

Here is a short list of some of the functionality included in this version:

• View registered git repositories in Jazz RTC
• Save and use an access token per git host system
• View recently created commits, issues, and pull/merge requests
• Filter commits, issues, and requests (with text highlighting)
• Search for any commit, issue, or request by sha/id (for the selected git repository)
• Chose what to link (can link to multiple commits, issues, and requests at once)
• Save the links on the work item
• Create a comment on every linked commit, issue, and request with a link pointing back to the work item
• Works with repositories hosted on GitHub and GitLab (v9.0 and up)
• Works with both public and private repositories (so long as the user has access and their token is valid)

Limitations

• Doesn't run in Internet Explorer (for now)
• Only supports GitHub and GitLab (v9.0 and up) repositories

This version was developed using RTC v6.0.3 but is intended to be compatible with newer versions as well. It will be tested with v6.0.5 presently and any necessary changes will be released in a new version.
It has not been tested with older versions of RTC but may work anyways.

Please report any issues / bugs / feature requests along with the version number in the issues section of this repository.
