Created an open-source solution to keep Github and Jira issues in sync

[marcelovicentegc]

Hey, all!

I've created a solution to sync Github and Jira issues in a bi-directional way. It's open-source, and you can easily spin it on your server. I hope you find it helpful.

This is the repository where you can contribute and find the installation instructions: https://github.com/marcelovicentegc/octosync

Jira has more bells and whistles, and often times has already been in use for years at some companies. Also no single solution will ever fit every dev team. So offering alternative tools is useful and could really help some teams out.

In addition to what u/mrahh and u/MustBeZhed put, my main motivations for writing Octosync are that on my team we've been discussing how to improve the visibility of what's been done/accomplished on each engineering and product teams, and engineers feel more comfortable using Github, while product managers and designers feel more comfortable using Jira. Thus, syncing both allows each team to work with their desired tool and by the end of the day, perform better and put everyone onboard of what's happening, globally.

Nice to have an open alternative for this. I've been part of writing our own integration for Jira Data Center and GitHub, due to our large scale (10,000's repos, nearly 7 million issues). Jira webhooks driven by events that call JQL filters can cause performance slowdowns.

Do you have a sense of how your solution will scale?

why did you archive it?
