What is Git?
Git is a source code repository. Developers keep track of their source code using Git. Git relies heavily on branching and merging. Branching is making a temporary copy of source code for a single purpose like adding a particular feature or fixing a bug. Merging is safely moving the changes from one branch back to another.
What is this app?
This is Git Integration for Jira Cloud – an app for Jira that mashes together data from a Git server with your Jira Cloud. It let’s people see code from Git in context with Jira issues.
