We are developing in-house git convention standards.

Based on the document here, it says you can sync Jira issues in GitHub PRs by doing the following:

  • Include a commit in the pull request that has the issue key in the commit message. Note, the commit cannot be a merge commit.
  • Include the issue key in the pull request title.
  • Ensure that the source branch name also includes the issue key in the branch name.

We are noticing that simply referencing the Jira issue alone in the pull request description alone will sync. Is this considered an officially supported method?
