The Git Integration for Jira app has added JQL operators and fields to query Jira using JQL and git context via the Jira search.
Enable/disable JQL search feature
Go to 
Jira Administration ➜ Applications ➜ General settings.
This general setting allows administrators to enable/disable the JQL functions within the Git Integration for Jira app.
JQL field syntax
The Jira JQL has been extended as follows:
| Criteria Name | JQL Field Syntax | Description | Search Result Value Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Git Commits Referenced | gitCommitsReferenced is not emptygitCommitsReferenced is empty |
True for all issues referenced by a git commit True for all issues not referenced by a git commit |
True or “” (empty string) |
| Git Branch | gitBranch in (Version-5.2, Version-5.3) |
True for all issues referenced by a git commit in branch Version-5.2 and branch Version-5.3 | Version-5.2, Version-5.3 |
Examples:
gitBranch in (master) AND resolution = Unresolved
gitCommitsReferenced is not empty AND resolution = Unresolved
Exporting JQL search results
You can save the JQL search results to CSV, HTML, XML or Word via Export.
JQL searching will not work if more than 65,000 Jira issues have at least one git commit associated. For more detailed information, see Known issues – JQL searching limitation.
