title: Automatically closing issue from pull request in GitHub
body: <p>How do I close an issue using a pull request on GitHub? I know about <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3547445/closing-multiple-issues-in-github-with-a-commit-message">closing multiple issues with a commit message</a>, but it's a different case.</p>
  
  <p>I would like to close the issues not from a commit, but from the description of the pull request. More like </p>
  
  <p>Pull request:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Name: bla bla
  Description ... , _fixes_ #123
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And when merging the pull request, the <code>#123</code> to <em>automatically</em> close. Is this possible?</p>
