Summary

Git Integration for Jira connects Jira projects with GitHub repositories, enabling development teams to link code activity to Jira issues and manage selected GitHub workflows from within Jira. After installing the Marketplace app and authenticating through GitHub OAuth or a personal access token, users can connect one or multiple repositories. The integration supports smart commits, which use issue keys and commands in commit messages to add comments, log time, transition issues, or assign work, subject to relevant permissions and configuration. Users can also create issue-linked branches and pull requests through Jira’s Git Development panel, then view associated commits, branches, and pull request statuses in an issue’s details. For Jira Cloud and Server deployments, webhook-based indexing triggers can be configured in GitHub to reindex repositories when events such as commits or branch creation occur, helping keep repository information synchronized with Jira.
