+1 Though, it seems Github doesn't autolink anything in the PR title, including other PRs or issues. |

This would be a really nice feature. As far as I know, gitlab already has this feature. |

When you're reviewing a PR you'd be able to skip straight to your JIRA ticket to get more context (or other tool) via hyperlink. It's super useful in Bitbucket and is available in GitHub but you have to navigate to commits and it's a janky experience at the moment. We are asking for it to be in more places (like the PR title) so our quality of life as contributors/developers/reviewers improves |

Please consider implementing this feature in a foreseeable future. I believe it has a great outcome to effort ratio. |

We migrated two years ago from Bitbucket to GitHub. Bitbucket supported this out-of-the-box and it's a feature I still greatly miss. |

I have a feeling this would take 10 minutes to implement, but I guess no one at GH thinks it's important enough. |

While this issue keeps collecting dust, here is a workaround that solved it for me in Chrome: It offers exactly the same settings as standard GitHub autolinks, but applies them to PR titles:

Nice, but it probably requires giving the author access to our private repo. |

It does not. It's just adding links to the page, after all. |

The extension works great! |

In my experience Chrome alerts me when I've updated an extension and it's requesting new permissions. https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/develop/concepts/permission-warnings But yes, point taken. If you were really worried, you could always clone/fork the repo and build the extension yourself? |

To avoid such surprises you can always fork the repo and install manually using "developer mode". I had to do it anyways to allow access to an enterprise instance https://github.com/chunfeilung/alright/blob/main/manifest.json#L16 |

I created a TamperMonkey script to address the issue: // ==UserScript==
// @name github-pr-jira-link-injector
// @version 0.1
// @description Adds a link from Github PRs to Jira issues; the link should follow the following convention: ABC-12345
// @author nizametdinov
// @match https://github.com/*/pull/*
// @icon https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?sz=64&domain=github.com
// @grant none
// ==/UserScript==
(function injectLink() {
const $issueTitle = document.querySelector('.js-issue-title, [data-component="PH_Title"] .markdown-title');
// always track changes as the contents of the page may be changed, say, by switching tabs (Conversation, Commits, Files changed, etc)
if ($issueTitle && !$issueTitle.hasAttribute('data-github-pr-jira-link-injector-processed')) {
const jiraKey = /[A-Z]+\-\d+/.exec($issueTitle.innerText);
if (jiraKey) {
$issueTitle.innerHTML = `<a href="https://<your-domain>.atlassian.net/browse/${jiraKey}">${$issueTitle.innerText}</a>`;
}
$issueTitle.setAttribute('data-github-pr-jira-link-injector-processed', 'true');
}
setTimeout(injectLink, 1000);
})(); |

As the creator of the discussion, is there a way for me to add this label? It seems like I don't have permissions to do so. |

External autolinks can be active in pull request descriptions and comments, but not titles. It would be very nice if links were automatically substituted in titles as well.
Thank you for your consideration.
