Jira with Github Integration

Is there any option to have in a pull request on Github the actual Jira task url? Basically now we can navigate from Jira to Github's pull request but from Github there's no option to navigate to the actual Jira task

Solution

  • You should check if you can setup an autolink reference

    Anyone with admin permissions to a repository can configure autolink references to link issues, pull requests, commit messages, and release descriptions to external third-party services.

    You can see an illustration in "Add magic links to GitHub: Jira, Zendesk and more" from Davide 'CoderDave' Benvegnù:

    In the form you have to specify 2 things:

    • the prefix, or keyword, you wanna use
    • the link to your service

    Note: the link must contain the variable which will be replaced at runtime with the ID you are going to specify.
