Connecting GitHub and GitLab to the same cloud instance

[Majken Longlade]

Anyone running with both the GitHub connector and another Git repository connector like GitLab to populate the development panel?

Wondering if they cause any conflicts with each other.

Hi Majken!

In a nutshell: yes, you can both! Jira has no restriction on how many code tools you have linked to your site or even to a single issue - it's not exclusive to one or the other. If you mention the same issue key in GitHub, Bitbucket, and GitLab, they will all appear in their dedicated section of the development panel. Still, the sum of each category (branches, commits, PRs, builds, deployments) will be displayed in the development panel without specifying how many come from each source. As can be seen in the screenshots below from my test site, I've connected all three of them and two Bitbucket workspaces, and both have a separate section:

This setup won't cause any glitches or errors, the only thing to keep in mind is that having both GitLab and GitHub pointing to the same issue could cause some confusion from a process point of view, but if you're okay with this approach - go for it!
