How can I reference a commit in an issue comment on GitHub?

Question

I find a lot of answers on how to reference a GitHub issue in a git comment (using the #xxx notation). I'd like to reference a commit in my comment, generating a link to the commit details page?

Answer 1

To reference a commit, simply write its SHA-hash, and it'll automatically get turned into a link.

the commit 3e5c1e60269ae0329094de131227285d4682b665 solved the issue...

Or use its prefix

the commit 3e5c1e6 solved the issue...
