Github integration for Pull requests?

[George Apostolopoulos]

I am trying to create a automation that when a pull request is denied within github, it will automatically (within Jira) move the task from our swimlane "code review" to "revision". However, I cannot seem to get the basic integration down for github on jira. I am having our devs create branches, pull requests, initial commits all with the jira task key (for example JRA-123) and nothing is happening on the task itself. Any help would be so greatly appreciated!

I've never gotten this to work as easily as sounds like it should be.

What does work is smart-commits (done on the github side), but they're not easy to remember, and are error prone.  My teams have generally 'forgotten' them, and we end up having to manually update the jira tickets anyway.

This isn't an Atlassian Link, but it does a good job of covering the topic:   You can also find smart commit values in the atlassian documentation.

Hi @George Apostolopoulos ,

Did you follow the instruction on atlassian support site:
https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/integrate-with-github/

After installing the app and setting configuration the connection works perfect in my system. Git-related things are shown in my jira issues.

All git related infos point to github:

Please check your setting/apps against atlassian support page and let me know if there are further questions.

Best

Were all the configuration set correctly? Does it work now?
