Gi Jira and GitHub, always in sync
Give planning and delivery one shared truth. ZigiOps syncs Jira issues with GitHub pull requests and commits in real time — status, comments and labels flow both ways, no scripts required.
Jira Engineering commits and reviews code in GitHub while planning and tracking happen in Jira. Without a link, product and engineering leads can't see delivery status without switching tools.
ZigiOps links each Jira issue to its GitHub pull request and keeps status, comments and labels synchronized in real time — no scripts, no manual updates.
How the Jira ↔ GitHub mapping works inside ZigiOps
A look at the visual field-mapping canvas ZigiOps engineers use to configure this pair — point, click, connect. No scripts, no pipelines.
Jira Every field that matters, mapped both ways
Map Jira entities to GitHub entities down to the individual field, without writing a script.
More control over how Jira ↔ GitHub syncs
Updates flow the moment they happen — no polling delays, no scheduled batch jobs.
Scope every sync with filters on label, branch, repository or issue type.
Built-in logic decides which update wins and logs every decision for full traceability.
Sync resumes on its own after downtime or network interruptions — nothing to restart by hand.
Validate field mappings and rules against real data before the integration goes live.
See sync status and catch failures early, without digging through logs.
When a sync fails, ZigiOps surfaces the likely cause and a suggested fix — no log-diving required.
From issue to merged pull request
Planning happens in Jira; the code lands in GitHub. ZigiOps keeps them a single, synchronized thread from backlog to merge.
Product or engineering logs a new issue with priority and description.
A branch and pull request opened in GitHub is linked back to the Jira issue automatically.
Review comments and PR status sync back to the Jira issue as the code moves through review.
Merging the pull request transitions the Jira issue automatically, with the full commit history attached.
Jira ↔ GitHub FAQ
Is the Jira–GitHub sync bidirectional?
Yes. Issues and pull requests stay aligned in both directions in real time, with conflict-resolution logic keeping both systems authoritative.
What fields map between the two?
Issue ↔ pull request, status ↔ PR state, comments, and labels — all in both directions with full fidelity, fully configurable in the visual editor.
Does merging a pull request transition the Jira issue?
Yes, if configured that way. A merged pull request can automatically move the linked Jira issue to its next workflow status.
Can I connect multiple GitHub repositories to one Jira project?
Yes. ZigiOps supports unlimited connections, so a single Jira project can sync with several GitHub repositories, each with its own mapping rules.
Can I limit the sync to specific labels or branches?
Yes. Conditional triggers let you scope the sync by label, branch name or issue type, so only the work that matters crosses over.
Do I need GitHub Actions or Jira automation rules?
No. The entire integration is configured no-code in ZigiOps — no GitHub Actions workflows or Jira automation rules to build or maintain.
