Is it possible to change the assignee in Jira with a Git commit?

I am looking for a way to change the assignee of the ticket when I commit code; we have 2 QAs and currently when I commit I can change the Workflow to, for example, QA from In Progress, and add a comment, but can't find how to change the assignee.

An example of my current commits:

  • ADV-99 #qa #comment Fixed abc

Is it possible to have something like this:

  • ADV-99 #qa #assignee:rob #comment Fixed abc

I cant seem to find anything about changing assignee in the Jira Smart Commits Documentation:
Using Smart Commits in Jira

Note I used the Jira DVCS Connector to connect GitHub to Jira.

Solution

  • I found a similar Stackoverflow question How to specify version with git smart commits?

    It seems that there are only really 3 commands supported by Jira at the moment:

    #time
#comment
#<transition>

    So it would appear I need to either:

    • Trigger a change on Transition of the ticket to the QA lane (Which I don't think is an option as there are 2 QAs to whom it can be assigned)
    • Create my own Smart Commit in Jira
