How to commit on Github and automatically mark done on Basecamp?


I have a GitHub account and Basecamp account. I have already setup my GitHub to use Basecamp service hook by selecting Service Hooks Menu and select basecamp. Fill all required form and get the setup work properly identified by green color.

Now, I have to-do list at my Basecamp account, but I don't know how to interact between GitHub commit comment and Basecamp to-do list.

For example, I commit my code by commenting fixing to-do list #123. But on Basecamp, I can't find to-do list ID (ex:#123) like common project management that I use before. I also can't find a documentation about it.

Can someone help me with this?


Solution

  • I have send a same question to both github and basecamp support and bellow they answer.

    Basecamp Support:

    Sorry about that confusion with the GitHub integration! At the moment, that integration only brings in the commits you make into the Progress page and recaps. Here's the code behind that integration so you can get a better idea of the guts of that service hook:

    https://github.com/github/github-services/blob/master/services/basecamp.rb

    If you have any other questions, just let me know and I'll be happy to help. And have an awesome Sunday!

    Github Support:

    The Basecamp hook is for the new Basecamp system, and only adds to a project's event log. There is a Basecamp Classic hook for the older Basecamp system. It looks like that hook only creates Basecamp messages. It doesn't look like anyone has written any Basecamp to-do integration with GitHub at this time. Our 3rd party hooks are contributed by other users because we don't actually use any of those services (Basecamp included). You're welcome to contribute to them:

    https://github.com/github/github-services

    So it's clear at the moment (when I write this), what we commit and push into Github repository just automatically show on Basecamp Progress page.
