Summary

Artifactory, a popular binary repository manager for DevOps, enhances build traceability by integrating with issue-tracking systems like Jira through the JFrog CLI. This integration allows users to directly link issues, such as bugs or feature requests, to specific builds, providing clarity on why a build was created. By using a consistent format for commit messages that include issue ticket information, developers can ensure that build information in Artifactory reflects all resolved issues. The JFrog CLI command, build-add-git, facilitates this by extracting issue data from Git check-ins and incorporating it into build information. This seamless integration is part of JFrog's broader mission to support continuous updates and improve software delivery efficiency by making every build fully traceable, not only in terms of its content but also its purpose.
