Automatically Insert Ticket Links into Commit Messages: Smarter Workflow with AI Commit by Mavka

You need to know which commits belong to which tasks — it keeps your work organized. But copying task links manually causes problems: it’s slow, people forget to do it, and every team member ends up doing it differently.

That’s why AI Commit By Mavka includes a powerful feature that automatically inserts ticket links into your commit messages — either from the branch name or from a link you paste manually.

You can access this feature inside the IntelliJ IDEA plugin — simply install the AI Commit By Mavka plugin from the JetBrains Marketplace.

Why Ticket Linking Matters

Connecting commits to tickets is important for:

• traceability during code reviews
• product analytics and auditing
• keeping development history understandable
• helping onboard new team members

But in reality, teams often forget to add ticket links — or add them inconsistently. AI Commit By Mavka solves this problem automatically, ensuring every commit stays connected to the work item behind it.

Automatic Ticket Link Insertion - this feature works in three modes — pick whichever matches your workflow.

a. Add a Ticket Link Manually

1. Create a ticket in your task platform (e.g., ClickUp) and copy its ticket ID.

2. In AI Commit By Mavka Plugin Settings (Tools → AI Commit By Mavka Settings), enable the option: “Automatically insert ticket link into commit messages”.
   

3. Exit the settings window.

4. Paste your ticket link into the Commit Message field before generation.

5. Click the AI Commit By Mavka icon to generate your message.

The result:
AI Commit By Mavka will produce a clean commit message and append your ticket link at the end.

b. Use Branch Name + Ticket Prefix

If your team uses branches named after tickets (e.g. feature/869a7cu9d), this method is for you.

1. Create branch with the ticket ID at the end.

2. In plugin Settings, set your platform domain (e.g. https://app.clickup.com) as the ticket link prefix.

3. Click the AI Commit By Mavka icon to generate the message.

AI Commit By Mavka will automatically:

• detect the ticket ID from the branch
• combine it with your prefix
• append the full link to your commit message

c. Auto-Detect Ticket ID from Branch Name (No Settings Required)

Even if you leave the feature disabled in settings, AI Commit By Mavka can still help.

If your branch name ends with a recognizable ticket ID like feature/869a7cu9d:

1. Simply click the AI Commit By Mavka icon to generate the commit message.
   

2. Mavka will detect the ticket ID automatically from your branch name and recognize the supported platform (currently ClickUp) to generate a commit message with the correct full ticket link.
