GitHub – Jira integration

Development teams across companies often use both GitHub and Jira to manage and track their projects. When the two systems are integrated team members can get quick access to pull requests, commits and branches from GitHub in Jira, and details from Jira tasks, bugs and stories in GitHub. Here is one of the most common use cases of GitHub Jira integration.

If there is a new task in Jira and the developers need to track it in GitHub, ZigiOps will automatically create a GitHub issue and will populate the extracted information from Jira in it.

The integration provides bi-directional updates, so if there are any changes in GitHub, ZigiOps will reflect them in the corresponding Jira task in real time, and any updates in Jira will be reflected in GitHub accordingly. ZigiOps will also close the task in Jira once the GitHub issue is closed.

Common challenges for GitHub and Jira users

GitHub provides hosting for software development and version control using Git. Besides the Git functionalities it also offers bug tracking, feature requests, task management, and more. Jira is one of the most popular DevOps tools. It helps teams track the progress of projects and manage tasks. Jira and GitHub often coexist in companies, but when they are not in sync issues may occur. Communication challenges, delays and faulty data can easily create silos and result in duplicated tasks. A Jira GitHub integration will help you eliminate errors, delays and corrupted data caused by manual transfer between the two tools.
