[Suraj Pawar]

Hello Community,

I am a beginner and currently learning Jira Cloud for my college projects.

I want to integrate Jira with GitHub and I have the following questions:

1. What are the steps to integrate Jira Cloud with GitHub?

2. Do I need to install any app from the Atlassian Marketplace?

3. Is the Jira–GitHub integration free in Jira Cloud, or does it require a paid plan?

4. After integration, how can I link GitHub commits or pull requests to Jira issues?

I would really appreciate a simple, step-by-step explanation, as I am new to Jira.

Thank you in advance for your help.
