# Commits and Session Linking

Tracker items connect to both your git history and your AI sessions, giving you traceability from idea to implementation.

### Commit Linking

When a git commit message references a tracker item ID, the commit is linked to that item in the detail view. This lets you see exactly which commits relate to a bug fix, feature, or task.

For example, a commit message like:

```
Fix Safari login crash (NIM-42)
```

automatically associates the commit with tracker item NIM-42. The item's detail view shows the linked commit with its hash, message, and timestamp.

### Opt-in Automation

Commit-tracker linking can be configured in your project settings. When enabled, Nimbalyst scans commit messages for item ID references and creates the links automatically. This is opt-in -- you control whether the automation is active for each project.
