Links created with the RTC Git Connector can be viewed just like any other links using the links tab in the work item editor. All links are grouped by their link type. The plugin can create the following types of links: Git Commits, Git Issues, and Git Merge / Pull Requests.

View Git Links

All links created with the plugin can be hovered over using the cursor to open a popup with more information about the target resource. This feature is known as Rich Hover and is also provided by other standard link types.

Example Git Commit link rich hover:

Example Git Issue link rich hover:

Example Git Merge / Pull Request link rich hover:

Git Request Rich Hover

As can be seen in the examples above, the Git Commit links provide a rich hover with basic formatting. Meanwhile, the other two link types fetch the data in real time (so that it's always up to date) and use markdown formatting when displaying the rich hover.
