A new integration between Jira Software Cloud and GitHub has been developed to streamline the workflow of software teams by connecting code on GitHub with projects in Jira. This integration enhances visibility into the status of work from planning to deployment, allowing teams to view branches, commit messages, and pull requests directly in Jira tickets. It improves security and simplifies installation, enabling features like smart commits, viewing associated pull requests from Jira, and keeping Jira issues updated through workflow triggers without switching platforms. The legacy integration will be deprecated in favor of this new version, and the new app has been built using publicly-available APIs, allowing for community contributions and feature requests. Users can install the app to connect their GitHub repositories with their Jira instance, with future updates and an enterprise version on the way.
