# Issue closing pattern **(FREE SELF)**
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
NOTE:
 | 
						|
This page explains how an administrator can configure issue closing patterns.
 | 
						|
For user documentation about the feature, see
 | 
						|
[Closing issues automatically](../user/project/issues/managing_issues.md#closing-issues-automatically).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
When a commit or merge request resolves one or more issues, it is possible to
 | 
						|
automatically close these issues when the commit or merge request lands
 | 
						|
in the project's default branch.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Change the issue closing pattern
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The [default issue closing pattern](../user/project/issues/managing_issues.md#default-closing-pattern)
 | 
						|
covers a wide range of words. You can change the pattern to suit your needs.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To change the default issue closing pattern:

::Tabs

 | 
						|
:::TabTitle Linux package (Omnibus)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. Edit `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb` and change the `gitlab_rails['gitlab_issue_closing_pattern']`
 | 
						|
   value:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   ```ruby
 | 
						|
   gitlab_rails['gitlab_issue_closing_pattern'] = /<regular_expression>/.source
 | 
						|
   ```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. Save the file and reconfigure GitLab:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   ```shell

   sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure
 | 
						|
   ```
 | 
						|
 |

:::TabTitle Helm chart (Kubernetes)
 | 
						|
 |

1. Export the Helm values:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   ```shell
 | 
						|
   helm get values gitlab > gitlab_values.yaml
 | 
						|
   ```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. Edit `gitlab_values.yaml` and change the `issueClosingPattern` value:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   ```yaml
 | 
						|
   global:
 | 
						|
     appConfig:
 | 
						|
       issueClosingPattern: "<regular_expression>"
 | 
						|
   ```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. Save the file and apply the new values:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   ```shell

						|
   helm upgrade -f gitlab_values.yaml gitlab gitlab/gitlab
 | 
						|
   ```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
:::TabTitle Docker
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. Edit `docker-compose.yml` and change the `gitlab_rails['gitlab_issue_closing_pattern']`
 | 
						|
   value:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   ```yaml
 | 
						|
   version: "3.6"
 | 
						|
   services:
 | 
						|
     gitlab:
 | 
						|
       environment:
 | 
						|
         GITLAB_OMNIBUS_CONFIG: |
 | 
						|
           gitlab_rails['gitlab_issue_closing_pattern'] = /<regular_expression>/.source
 | 
						|
   ```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. Save the file and restart GitLab:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   ```shell
 | 
						|
   docker compose up -d
 | 
						|
   ```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
:::TabTitle Self-compiled (source)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. Edit `/home/git/gitlab/config/gitlab.yml` and change the `issue_closing_pattern` value:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   ```yaml
 | 
						|
   production: &base
 | 
						|
     gitlab:
 | 
						|
       issue_closing_pattern: "<regular_expression>"
 | 
						|
   ```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. Save the file and restart GitLab:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   ```shell
 | 
						|
   # For systems running systemd
 | 
						|
   sudo systemctl restart gitlab.target
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   # For systems running SysV init
 | 
						|
   sudo service gitlab restart
 | 
						|
   ```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
::EndTabs
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To test the issue closing pattern, use <https://rubular.com>.
 | 
						|
However, Rubular doesn't understand `%{issue_ref}`. When testing your patterns,
 | 
						|
replace this string with `#\d+`, which matches only local issue references like `#123`.
