Can I connect a Github Projects task to a commit without converting it to an issue?


I am trying to use github Projects to manage my dev, but I can't seem to find info anywhere on how to associate a task (NOT an issue) with a commit. Is there a way to do this similar to how "fix #xxx" line will link to an issue or do I have to convert my tasks to an issue and then close them in my commits in order to do this? I am familiar with SourceControl and TFS' approach to this but can't find similar functionality in git and I do not have the option to use SourceControl right now.

Thank you in advance!

UPDATE: added screenshot of the webpage display of a Github Project and tasks as an example for clarity. example of a project as shown kanban style in Github web viewer

I have tried looking through github documentation, StackExchange, just googling, and digging through the functionalities available when viewing projects. I do use VSCode as my python IDE and the github extensions but perhaps I am missing a particular extension or searching with the wrong keywords.


Solution

  • No, you cannot associate a draft issue (project card) without turning it into an issue first.

    Instead of creating a draft issue, you could create new issues directly and configure a rule to auto-add them to your project.
