Escaping git commit reference in markdown

Gary Giesen April 30, 2024

Is there a way to escape git commit references in Markdown? I have a list of UUIDs that Bitbucket thinks the first part of is a git commit reference, and is generating links to (non-existent) commits.

The list looks like this:

- 95ffdfaf-f5bd-419a-bb79-1a4a36848df3
- 330b20cc-5c7f-4e6f-bfa5-c3606f2b4558
- 3b287b0c-044e-4d81-9432-96ade4efdb61

and the part from the beginning to the first hyphen is being treated as a reference to a commit hash. I tried escaping with `\` but that does not work.

 

https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/highlight-syntax-and-mark-up-issues/ makes no reference to how to escape the automatic reference generation.

G'day, Gary

Thanks for raising this with us. I am checking this and will get back to you with an update once I have any.

However, I believe it's possible to escape the reference if you use code block for example:

```
- 95ffdfaf-f5bd-419a-bb79-1a4a36848df3
- 330b20cc-5c7f-4e6f-bfa5-c3606f2b4558
- 3b287b0c-044e-4d81-9432-96ade4efdb61

```

Let me know if that works for you.
