Lesson 11 / 20

Linking Issues to Pull Requests

Link pull requests to issues with closing keywords such as Fixes #42 so issues close on merge.

Closing keywords

Use a closing keyword in a PR description or commit message to auto-close the linked issue on merge.

Fixes #42
Closes #17

Why link them

Linked issues give reviewers context, and the tracker stays accurate the moment the PR merges — no manual closing needed.
