Autolinked references and URLs - GitHub Docs

References to URLs, issues, pull requests, and commits are automatically shortened and converted into links.

Who can use this feature?

Markdown can be used in the GitHub web interface.

URLs

GitHub automatically creates links from standard URLs.

Visit https://github.com

For more information on creating links, see Basic writing and formatting syntax.

Issues and pull requests

Within conversations on GitHub, references to issues and pull requests are automatically converted to shortened links.

Note

Autolinked references are not created in wikis or files in a repository.

If you reference an issue, pull request, or discussion in a list, the reference will unfurl to show the title and state instead. For more information about task lists, see About tasklists.

Labels

When referencing the URL of a label in Markdown, the label is automatically rendered. Only labels of the same repository are rendered, URLs pointing to a label from a different repository are rendered as any URL.

The URL of a label can be found by navigating to the labels page and clicking on a label. For example, the URL of the label "enhancement" in our public docs repository is

https://github.com/github/docs/labels/enhancement

Note

If the label name contains a period (.), the label will not automatically render from the label URL.

Commit SHAs

References to a commit's SHA hash are automatically converted into shortened links to the commit on GitHub.

Troubleshooting referencing commit SHAs

When referencing a commit from a private repository inside of a commit message, the commit SHA will only be shortlinked if at least one of the authors or committers of the commit have at least read access to the referenced commit.

Custom autolinks to external resources

If custom autolink references are configured for a repository, then references to external resources, like a JIRA issue or Zendesk ticket, convert into shortened links. To know which autolinks are available in your repository, contact someone with admin permissions to the repository. For more information, see Configuring autolinks to reference external resources.

Avoiding backlinks to linked references

By default, references generate a backlink. For example, manually linking to an issue in a pull request will automatically generate another link from the issue back to the pull request. To avoid this behavior, you can use redirect.github.com instead of github.com when constructing the URL in your reference. If you do use a redirect.github.com URL in your reference link, no pop-up window will appear when hovering over it.
