Hello there. I know that we could use TG- prefix with task id to link gitlab commit to taiga. But could i use my own prefixes for different project instead of TG?

Hello @comrade

The current version doesn’t support it, but we’ve provided a workaround [here](https://community.taiga.io/t/is-there-a-way-to-specify-a-specific-project-in-a-commit-message/301) that might also work for you.

I hope this help. Cheers!

This functionality would be much appreciated! Differentiating between projects in this way would be super nice!
