How to Parse Issue IDs from Commit Messages ​

If your issue tracker is not yet supported by Teamscale or you cannot connect to it for other reasons, you can instead parse issue IDs from your commit messages. You can also use it to aggregate quality data to SAP transport requests. This is done through regular expressions.
