Additional Features

This page covers the small utilities that Odoo Toolbox adds to the Odoo.SH interface to make your daily project and branch management easier. These features are available directly on Odoo.SH, with no configuration required.

Branch shortcuts

Branch name copy

Each branch row on an Odoo.SH project page has a copy icon next to the branch name. Click it to instantly copy the branch name to your clipboard - handy for git checkout commands, commit messages, or task names.

GitHub links

Odoo Toolbox adds a direct GitHub link on each branch, pointing to the corresponding branch in your GitHub repository. No more navigating to GitHub separately and searching for the right branch.

Task integration

Odoo Toolbox can associate an Odoo.SH branch with a task in your Odoo project. When a match is detected in the branch name, a direct link to the task is displayed next to the branch.

How it works

The extension analyzes each branch name using the regular expression /-(\d+)-/. The captured numeric ID is then injected into a customizable URL via the {{task_id}} placeholder. Both the regex and the URL can be customized from the extension options.

The default pattern matches the format: VERSION-TASKID-OPTIONAL_DESCRIPTION

Examples of recognized branch names: 17.0-12345-my-feature, 15.0-6789-fixes

To configure the target URL, go to the extension options and set the URL with the {{task_id}} placeholder. For example:

https://my-odoo.com/odoo/project/task/{{task_id}}

tip

You can set a specific URL per favorite from the SH Favorites page in the extension options.

Colorblind-friendly build status

By default, Odoo.SH uses color alone to convey build statuses (green, red, orange). Odoo Toolbox enhances these indicators with distinct icons and shapes, making statuses readable even without color distinction.

Status	Visual indicator
Success
Failed
In progress
Waiting

tip

This feature is especially useful when using Odoo.SH on a poorly calibrated monitor or in an environment with strong ambient lighting.
