Use this site to test your own patterns. +Because Rubular doesn't understand `%{issue_ref}`, you can replace this by `#\d+` in testing, which matches only local issue references like `#123`. ## Change the pattern For Omnibus installs you can change the default pattern in `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`: ``` -issue_closing_pattern: '((?:[Cc]los(?:e[sd]|ing)|[Ff]ix(?:e[sd]|ing)?) +(?:(?:issues? +)?#\d+(?:(?:, *| +and +)?))+)' +issue_closing_pattern: '((?:[Cc]los(?:e[sd]|ing)|[Ff]ix(?:e[sd]|ing)?) +(?:(?:issues? +)?%{issue_ref}(?:(?:, *| +and +)?))+)' ``` -For manual installs you can customize the pattern in [gitlab.yml][0]. +For manual installs you can customize the pattern in [gitlab.yml][0] using the `issue_closing_pattern` key. -[0]: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/40c3675372320febf5264061c9bcd63db2dfd13c/config/gitlab.yml.example#L65 -[1]: http://rubular.com/r/Xmbexed1OJ
