Automatically adding link to related work for tasks?

Question

I'm using VSTS for task and issue tracking and committing to a git repo hosted on VSTS.

Is there a way to automatically show commits in the 'Development' section of a Task in VSTS without having to manually add it?

In Jenkins I believe there's a plugin where it looks for the commit ID in the commit message to automatically link to the related task in Jira.

There are several options.

Enter the work item ID in the commit message, like Implemented a frobulator #1234.
Create a branch for the task from within the work item, which will automatically associate the branch (and thus all commits to that branch) with the work item.
