The Git Integration for Jira app displays a list of commits linked to a particular Jira issue. This helps you track issue progress and identify contributors involved in the actual work.
The Git Integration app pulls data from a Git source code control repository. Your Jira users can see code in Git within the context of Jira projects and issues. Even non-technical users without Git access can work with Git in the familiar Jira interface.
New tabs are added to the Issue view called Git Roll Up and Git Commits. The Git Commits tab is also added to the Project view. Users who access these tabs can see the Git activities.
Ask your Git administrator if you need access to the Git repository just like a regular developer would have.
If you are the Git administrator, define a new Git user for this Jira Server/Data Center.
Git Integration for Jira is available for Jira Server, Jira Data Center, and Cloud. It supports seamless integration with most git hosts and can be configured with ease.
