FishEye can detect special substrings in commit messages, and hyperlink those substrings to other systems. This is particularly useful if you use an issue tracking system, and put the issue identifiers into your commit messages. The 'Linkers' repository option allows you to define the substrings and their related URLs.

Any linkers defined in the repository defaults are added to each individual repository.

Here are some examples of simple linkers.

  • To link any occurrence of a JIRA-style issue to JIRA:
    Regex: [a-zA-Z]{2,}-\d+
    Href: http://jirahost:8080/browse/${0}
  • To link bug numbers that occur at the start of a line to Bugzilla:
    Regex: ^BUG: (\d+)
    Href: http://bugzilla/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=${1}
