A Sphinx extension for linking to your project's issue tracker. Includes roles for linking to issues, pull requests, user profiles, with built-in support for GitHub (though this works with other services).

Example

---

For an example usage, check out marshmallow's changelog <http://marshmallow.readthedocs.org/en/latest/changelog.html>_, which makes use of the roles in this library.

Installation and Configuration

---

.. code-block:: console

pip install sphinx-issues

Add sphinx_issues to extensions in your conf.py.

The extension has default values for GitHub projects. Simply set the add the issues_default_group_project config variable and you are good to go:

.. code-block:: python

# docs/conf.py

# ...
extensions = [
    # ...
    "sphinx_issues"
]

# Path to GitHub repo {group}/{project}  (note that `group` is the GitHub user or organization)
issues_github_path = "sloria/marshmallow"

# which is the equivalent to:
issues_uri = "https://github.com/{group}/{project}/issues/{issue}"
issues_prefix = "#"
issues_pr_uri = "https://github.com/{group}/{project}/pull/{pr}"
issues_pr_prefix = "#"
issues_commit_uri = "https://github.com/{group}/{project}/commit/{commit}"
issues_commit_prefix = "@"
issues_user_uri = "https://github.com/{user}"
issues_user_prefix = "@"

The extension is very configurable and can be used with any kind of issue tracker. Here is how you could configure it for use with a custom hosed GitLab instance:

.. code-block:: python

# docs/conf.py

# ...
extensions = [
    # ...
    "sphinx_issues"
]

#  Default repo {group}/{project} of gitlab project
issues_default_group_project = "myteam/super_great_project"
issues_uri = "https://gitlab.company.com/{group}/{project}/-/issues/{issue}"
issues_prefix = "#"
issues_pr_uri = "https://gitlab.company.com/{group}/{project}/-/merge_requests/{pr}"
issues_pr_prefix = "!"
issues_commit_uri = "https://gitlab.company.com/{group}/{project}/-/commit/{commit}"
issues_commit_prefix = "@"
issues_user_uri = "https://gitlab.company.com/{user}"
issues_user_prefix = "@"

Usage inside the documentation

---

Use the :issue: and :pr: roles in your docs like so:

.. code-block:: rst

See issue :issue:`42`

See issues :issue:`12,13`

See :issue:`sloria/konch#45`.

See PR :pr:`58`

Use the :user: role in your docs to link to user profiles (GitHub by default, but can be configured via the issues_user_uri config variable).

Use the :commit: role to link to commits.

.. code-block:: rst

Fixed in :commit:`6bb9124d5e9dbb2f7b52864c3d8af7feb1b69403`.

.. code-block:: rst

Thanks to :user:`bitprophet` for the idea!

You can also use explicit names if you want to use a different name than the github user name:

.. code-block:: rst

This change is due to :user:`Andreas Mueller <amueller>`.

The syntax ``:role:`My custom title ``` works for all roles of this extension.

It can be also used in combination with a list:

.. code-block:: rst

Fix bad bug :issue:`123, (Duplicate) <199>`

Use the :pypi: role to link to PyPI on https://pypi.org.

.. code-block:: rst

:pypi:`sphinx-issues` - A Sphinx extension for linking to your project's issue tracker.

Credit goes to Jeff Forcier for his work on the releases <https://github.com/bitprophet/releases>_ extension, which is a full-featured solution for generating changelogs. I just needed a quick way to reference GitHub issues in my docs, so I yoinked the bits that I needed.
