Gerrit comments link customisation¶

You can configure how Gerrit renders links in commit messages by editing the gerrit/commentlinks.yaml file in the config repository:

clone the config repository with git
edit the gerrit/commentlinks.yaml, for example adding bugzilla.redhat.com:

commentlinks:
  - name: External_Bugzilla_addressing
    match: "BZ:\\s+#?(\\d+)"
    html: "BZ: <a href=\"https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=$2\">$2</a>"

submit and merge the change.

Note

This is just for automatic link rendering in the web interface of Gerrit. To actually update the issue on events, you should write a firehose listener.
