Gitlab - Pivotal Tracker integration

Question

How do you integrate Gitlab and Pivotal Tracker for free?

I looked at the documentation on pivotal website, and cannot find anything related to that.

Answer 1

Integration to Pivotal Tracker has been present since Gitlab 6.2. There are more details in a comment on this page:

You will need to add your user API token under your profile in Pivotal to the Services section on the settings page for a specific project.

Then when you commit you just need to include the story ID in your commit message in the format [#id].

Example Commit:

• Fixed a bug [#123].

Answer 2

There’s not much documentation on GitLab. Basically, go to your Project > Settings > Integrations, look for the Project Services header, enable the PivotalTracker integration. You’ll need your token from https://www.pivotaltracker.com/profile; enter that, set it as active, and save changes.
