A Sphinx extension for linking to your project's issue tracker. Includes roles for linking to issues, pull requests, user profiles, with built-in support for GitHub (though this works with other services).
For an example usage, check out marshmallow's changelog, which makes use of the roles in this library.
pip install sphinx-issues
Add sphinx_issues
to extensions
in your conf.py
.
The extension has default values for GitHub projects.
Simply set the add the issues_default_group_project
config variable and you are good
to go:
# docs/conf.py
# ...
extensions = [
# ...
"sphinx_issues"
]
# Path to GitHub repo {group}/{project} (note that `group` is the GitHub user or organization)
issues_github_path = "sloria/marshmallow"
# which is the equivalent to:
issues_uri = "https://github.com/{group}/{project}/issues/{issue}"
issues_prefix = "#"
issues_pr_uri = "https://github.com/{group}/{project}/pull/{pr}"
issues_pr_prefix = "#"
issues_commit_uri = "https://github.com/{group}/{project}/commit/{commit}"
issues_commit_prefix = "@"
issues_user_uri = "https://github.com/{user}"
issues_user_prefix = "@"
The extension is very configurable and can be used with any kind of issue tracker. Here is how you could configure it for use with a custom hosed GitLab instance:
# docs/conf.py
# ...
extensions = [
# ...
"sphinx_issues"
]
# Default repo {group}/{project} of gitlab project
issues_default_group_project = "myteam/super_great_project"
issues_uri = "https://gitlab.company.com/{group}/{project}/-/issues/{issue}"
issues_prefix = "#"
issues_pr_uri = "https://gitlab.company.com/{group}/{project}/-/merge_requests/{pr}"
issues_pr_prefix = "!"
issues_commit_uri = "https://gitlab.company.com/{group}/{project}/-/commit/{commit}"
issues_commit_prefix = "@"
issues_user_uri = "https://gitlab.company.com/{user}"
issues_user_prefix = "@"
Use the :issue:
and :pr:
roles in your docs like so:
See issue :issue:`42`
See issues :issue:`12,13`
See :issue:`sloria/konch#45`.
See PR :pr:`58`
Use the :user:
role in your docs to link to user profiles (GitHub by default, but can be configured via the issues_user_uri
config variable).
Use the :commit:
role to link to commits.
Fixed in :commit:`6bb9124d5e9dbb2f7b52864c3d8af7feb1b69403`.
Thanks to :user:`bitprophet` for the idea!
You can also use explicit names if you want to use a different name than the github user name:
This change is due to :user:`Andreas Mueller <amueller>`.
The syntax :role:`My custom title <target>`
works for all roles of this extension.
It can be also used in combination with a list:
Fix bad bug :issue:`123, (Duplicate) <199>`
Use the :pypi:
role to link to PyPI on https://pypi.org.
:pypi:`sphinx-issues` - A Sphinx extension for linking to your project's issue tracker.
Credit goes to Jeff Forcier for his work on the releases extension, which is a full-featured solution for generating changelogs. I just needed a quick way to reference GitHub issues in my docs, so I yoinked the bits that I needed.
