-# Automatic issue closing
-
->**Notes:**
->
-> - This is the user docs. In order to change the default issue closing pattern,
->   follow the steps in the [administration docs].
-> - For performance reasons, automatic issue closing is disabled for the very
->   first push from an existing repository.
-
-When a commit or merge request resolves one or more issues, it is possible to
-automatically have these issues closed when the commit or merge request lands
-in the project's default branch.
-
-If a commit message or merge request description contains a sentence matching
-a certain regular expression, all issues referenced from the matched text will
-be closed. This happens when the commit is pushed to a project's
-[**default** branch](../repository/branches/index.md#default-branch), or when a
-commit or merge request is merged into it.
-
-## Default closing pattern value
-
-When not specified, the default issue closing pattern as shown below will be
-used:
-
-```bash
-((?:[Cc]los(?:e[sd]?|ing)|[Ff]ix(?:e[sd]|ing)?|[Rr]esolv(?:e[sd]?|ing)|[Ii]mplement(?:s|ed|ing)?)(:?) +(?:(?:issues? +)?%{issue_ref}(?:(?:, *| +and +)?)|([A-Z][A-Z0-9_]+-\d+))+)
-```
-
-Note that `%{issue_ref}` is a complex regular expression defined inside GitLab's
-source code that can match references to:
-
-- A local issue (`#123`).
-- A cross-project issue (`group/project#123`).
-- A link to an issue
-  (`https://gitlab.example.com/group/project/issues/123`).
-
 ---
-
-This translates to the following keywords:
-
-- Close, Closes, Closed, Closing, close, closes, closed, closing
-- Fix, Fixes, Fixed, Fixing, fix, fixes, fixed, fixing
-- Resolve, Resolves, Resolved, Resolving, resolve, resolves, resolved, resolving
-- Implement, Implements, Implemented, Implementing, implement, implements, implemented, implementing

-For example the following commit message:
-
-```
-Awesome commit message
-
-Fix #20, Fixes #21 and Closes group/otherproject#22.
-This commit is also related to #17 and fixes #18, #19
-and https://gitlab.example.com/group/otherproject/issues/23.
-```
-
-will close `#18`, `#19`, `#20`, and `#21` in the project this commit is pushed
-to, as well as `#22` and `#23` in group/otherproject. `#17` won't be closed as
-it does not match the pattern. It works with multi-line commit messages as well
-as one-liners when used with `git commit -m`.
