Commit+ shows the issue tracker of your repository’s hosting provider in the sidebar, so you can find the issue you are working on, discuss it, and start its branch without switching to the browser.

​
Supported trackers

The row appears in the sidebar’s ISSUES section when one of the repository’s remotes is on a supported provider. Jira, if connected, appears in the same section. Turn the whole section on or off with Show Issues in Settings → General or from the sidebar’s context menu. Bitbucket Data Center and Azure DevOps Server (on-premises) are not supported.

​
Connect an account

Commit+ uses the Git provider account you already connected for the remote’s host. If no account is connected, the issues screen shows Connect…; if the saved account no longer works, it shows Reconnect. Both open your provider accounts. Some trackers need extra access:
  • GitHub — For an organization’s repository, the organization must grant Commit+ access. Use Manage Organization Access… on the issues screen, or Grant Organization Access on GitHub in the account sheet.
  • Bitbucket — The repository’s issue tracker must be turned on. The API token needs the read:issue:bitbucket and write:issue:bitbucket scopes, and you must enter your Atlassian Email in the account sheet. The email stays on this Mac with the token.
  • Azure Boards — The personal access token needs the Work Items scope.
When the tracker is turned off or the account lacks access, the screen explains what is needed instead of showing an empty list.

​
Browse issues

Select the tracker row in the ISSUES section. The list shows open issues by default; Azure Boards shows work items from the repository’s project.
  • Search by title or number.
  • State — Open, Closed, or All.
  • Show — All, Assigned to Me, or Created by Me.
  • Remote — appears when more than one remote has a supported tracker, for example a fork with an upstream remote.
  • Reset Filters clears the filters, and Refresh reloads the list.
Commit+ remembers the remote and filters for each repository. Select an issue to open its details: description, labels or tags, author, assignees, and comments. From the details panel or the row’s context menu you can Open in Browser, Copy Number, or Copy Reference and Title.

​
Create, comment, close, and reopen

  • Click New Issue… to create an issue with a title and a Markdown description. On Azure Boards, also choose the work item type.
  • Type in Add a comment at the bottom of the details panel and click Comment.
  • Use Close Issue or Reopen Issue in the details panel’s actions.
Each change is sent with your connected account and refreshes the list and details when it succeeds. Commit+ does not edit titles, descriptions, labels, assignees, or milestones, and does not delete issues.

​
Start a branch from an issue

Use Create Branch… in the details panel or the row’s context menu. Commit+ suggests a name made from the issue number and title, such as 42-fix-login-crash. When Git Flow is set up for the repository, you can start a Git Flow topic instead, as with Jira issues.

​
Access

Hosted issues are free for public repositories. Commit+ Pro is required for private repositories.
