Jira Git Integration Insights: The Key to Enhanced Collaboration
Git Integration for Jira is designed to empower development teams by surfacing Git and Jira data precisely when and where needed. Whether you’re using GitLab, GitHub, Azure DevOps, Bitbucket, or any other Git hosting provider, this tool has you covered.
Connect Git to Jira to streamline your workflow and get your team working together like never before. With Git Integration for Jira, you can:
See all Commits, Branches, Pull Requests: View commits from Jira, see the author, commit details, and source code diffs via the Git Commits tab on the Issues page. You can create branches directly from Jira’s issue view and even generate pull requests effortlessly.
View Activity Across Entire Projects, Epics, and Sprints: Instead of clicking into an issue to see its associated repository activity, use the timeline view to view commits, pull requests, and more across multiple issues at one time. This saves you time and helps you spot risks and trends you otherwise would have missed.
Monitor Builds and Deployments: Monitor build and deployment data from your CI/CD pipelines within the Jira issue panel. Use JQL to search by build and deployment statuses and automate Jira workflows based on build and deployment outcomes.
Perform Smart Commits: Developers can continue using their favorite tools while seamlessly updating Jira. By adding #comments, #time, and #transition to Jira issues through Git commits, project managers can make informed decisions and keep items moving smoothly through the workflow.
Index via Webhooks: If you’re working with self-hosted Git servers or strict source code control, indexing via webhooks might be the best solution for you. It simplifies the indexing process, relying only on events being pushed from your Git provider.
Jump into Action with Deep Linking: With Git Integration for Jira, you can quickly open commits, branches, and tags in GitKraken Client directly from the Jira Issue view. No more time wasted searching for branches, allowing for seamless collaboration and faster review of changes.
