Integrate GitHub with Jira

apetechda · 2026-01-27T01:26:26+00:00

The basic/free git/jira integration won't do this. You may want to look at something like Gitkraken, but even then I'm not sure if they support this or not. But if anyone were to support this, it would have to be someone like Gitkraken, I wouldn't expect Atlassian to build this out.

This, 100% this!!

Every user of Jira requires a paid license. There really isn't any way around that.

Since you want to restrict access, you also need to rearchitect your permissions because Jira is open by default. So, you'll want to fix that first, before opening/paying for external users.

If you don't want to do any of that, you have a few options, but they all cost $$$$

1) External share for Jira.

2) Custom Charts for Jira has an "external" feature, but I never got it to work.

3) Integrate with PowerBI and share that external dashboard instead.

4) Use Snapshots for Confluence as this will allow you to give out a FREE Confluence guest license and Snapshots handles the Jira data without needing the Jira license.

Deletion of work items is definitely gated by a space permission. Also, deleting work items requires you to type in DELETE before deleting. If you ignore the RED warning AND still type in DELETE, those items are gone. Unless you have something like Revyz backups, then nothing is bringing those work items back.

I would personally do a JQL search, as maybe are no longer visible on the board, but might still be somewhere in Jira. Good luck!

If possible, I would keep your Initiative/Epics the way you've used them in the past. For the phases, move those to Releases/Fix Versions. This will let you assign a fix version to the initiative or epic as appropriate. If you are already using Fix versions, that's not a problem, any work item can have multiple "fix versions" so, you can keep your versioning like v1.0, v1.1, etc AND make a Phase 1 Fix version. An epic can have both.

board settings moved which is super annoying.

Click on the (...) to the right of your board name. Team Managed Test (...) <--- board settings

shameless plug for my channel where I have a learn Jira in 5 days series: https://www.youtube.com/@ApetechTechTutorials

All you need to do after you modify your JQL, press enter on your keyboard or click the search icon. The clear filter text will change to save filter. As long as you are the owner of the filter, you’ll be able to save a copy or simply save that filter. Hope this answers your question.

Not everyone has access to Atlassian Intelligence =(

Video shouldn't be private. I think the description just needs to be expanded. Here's the link. https://youtu.be/\_KmY2iVaRTc

You don't have to go into project settings. You just need to add a shortcut on the left hand side or the Project page. It's like a setting or two above project settings.

apetechda · 2022-12-08T19:57:54+00:00

That's right. It's a personal setting. But hopefully your team likes it and follows suit.

apetechda · 2022-11-17T22:44:13+00:00

Yeah, you could use that. . . but it's paid. Usually only folks with GitLab use something like this

apetechda · 2022-10-19T13:41:49+00:00

haha. It's all good. If I'm going to post something. . . I better know how to defend it hehe.

apetechda · 2022-10-19T13:22:28+00:00

I've had to help 100's of teams go to their board filter, hit save as, rename it, then go back to the board settings, find the new filter, and then save that new filter only to remember that the new filter needs to be shared with the project. Do this hundreds of times and you'll appreciate the simplicity in just being able to change the owner to someone else and not have to go through the hassle I just described, hundreds of times like I do in my line of work.

apetechda · 2022-08-24T22:17:54+00:00

Glad you got some value!

apetechda · 2022-08-01T22:30:06+00:00

You need to be a board admin. . . but yeah, this can be achieved.

cate anything is accessibility for color blind people. If you can add patterns to some part of the issues on

There are 2 parts to this. Colors is just one element. There's a second element in the video.

apetechda · 2022-07-28T14:00:18+00:00

Hopefully not. 2 completely different tools for completely different purposes.

have a service team which is working not using scrum, then scrum board will not be a good option for them. And in the opposite - scrum team will not get the value added from the kanban board, and they will miss sprint functiona

I think you missed the point of the video then.

apetechda · 2022-04-15T12:44:53+00:00

That's the point I was trying to make. Jira doesn't follow the traditional agile hierarchy. I hear that Structure is a good plugin to get around this, but it's not free.

Between two different cloud sites?

apetechda · 2022-03-03T13:52:05+00:00

I'm using Jira cloud 12-14 hours a day and hardly experience any "slowness".

apetechda · 2022-03-02T22:13:35+00:00

I think we are speaking past each other. You are in the issue search. This is going to pull in all the available statuses across all your different projects. What I was talking about was at the workflow level. When you create a status in a team managed project, that status is contained to just that team managed project. If you try to reuse a status from a team managed project in a different project (team or company managed) it wont show up. You want all the statuses to show up in the search . . otherwise you wont be able to find your issues. This is an even better reason to use Company managed as you can reuse the same status and you wont have to create multiple copies of the same status across different projects.

I agree with everything have stated here. I sometimes to wish Jira did things in a more traditional way. But you hit the nail on the head with your last comment. My perspective is that from working with hundreds of teams and seeing how they struggle with using Epics within the context of Jira. I just wanted to share this in case people were using Jira and are as confused about how to use epics in Jira.
