Automatically link a pull request to the issue of the branch it was created from

3 votes

I frequently (multiple times a day) create branches for (GitHub) issues using the 'create branch for issue' command. When I create (GitHub) pull requests for those branches, I'd like to automatically link the corresponding issue to the pull request - so that the issue will be closed when the pull request is merged. Support says that there's no way to do that with GitKraken without a feature update, beyond the current behavior of getting a link to the issue in the PR description, which results in the issue being "mentioned" in the PR but not actually *linked* to the PR for automatic closing. This would be a wonderful time saver! (Ideally, it would be an opt-in checkbox in the PR creation UI in GitKraken, with the checkbox remembering what selection you made in the last PR.)
