rybak/intellij-copy-commit-reference

Plugin for context menu action "Copy Commit Reference" in IDEs from JetBrains.

Copy Commit Reference

Plugin for IntelliJ-based IDEs.

Provides a context menu item "Copy Commit Reference" in all VCS log views. It copies a reference to the commit in the same format as git log --format=reference.

This format is used to refer to another commit in a commit message. For example: commit 1f0fc1d (pretty: implement 'reference' format, 2019-11-20) in the git.git repository.

Document release process

How creation of release draft works and creation of a GitHub release release works isn't obvious. I should document it.

Template's README has some of the details: https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-platform-plugin-template#continuous-integration

Embed link to commit on repo management service

It would be nice if commit id in the copied text was supplied with a link that would open the commit page on the corresponding repo management service, e.g.:

2bc598d (README: make badge "Build passing" clickable, 2023-07-12)

For Bitbucket, https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/8015-bitbucket-linky can probably be used as reference.
