i'm using VisualStudioTeamServices and I created a new project with a new Git-Repo.

Then I created a new backlog-item with one new task (ID: #140)

Now I created a file on my local repo and wanted to commit the file and link this commit to my task(#143).

I used this command

git commit -am "test #140"

and

git push

The commit was pushed to my VSTS-Repo but the link to the commit in the task was not created.

The same problem with Tools like GitKranken,...

Does anyone know where the failure is?

No matter git command line or other git GUI, the commit message format #ID should be recognized.

You just need to refresh your web page (such as backlog page), and then open the task which id is 140, then you will find the commit in Development.
