Hi,

 

GitHub -> Jira

I wonder whether there are ideas about best practices to import issues from GitHub to Jira now that the wizard does not exist any longer. 

I want to import the issues of both public and private GitHub repositories into Jira. So far I have obtained a csv file for the public ones. 

 

I am left with several questions though:

1. After importing the csv file, Jira asks me to map the field names of the csv file to the field names in Jira. Are there ideas about best practices to map from GitHub fields to existing Jira fields or creating custom fields?

There are quite some fields that do not match. If I make custom field names, you also need to assign a field type and I do not see documentation about the meaning of the different available field types in Jira. 

2. Several people have shared their code to export the issues from GitHub. What are your experiences with any of the packages that are available? 

 

Thanks in advance for any thoughts on the subject,

Lieke

p.s. To export the public GitHub repository issues, I followed this post: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/What-s-the-best-way-to-migrate-Github-issues-into-Jira/qaq-p/751279
