How to link Jira Deployments when GitHub Actions run on a separate branch like dev/prod ?

[Arun]

Hi EVeryone,
In my project, all developers create PRs into the main branch, and the main branch contains the Jira issue keys (e.g., PROJ-123).

However, our CI/CD workflows run only on a separate dev/prod branch, where we merge changes from main. Since the deployment workflow runs on dev/prod (which doesn’t contain the original commit messages with Jira issue keys).

How to overcome this issue? I want to show the deployment status on the jira?

Hi @Arun,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community.

Not sure if you can have this info displayed in Jira if you don't have the issue key in dev/prod branch name or in its commits...   

An alternative solution would be to have this info displayed in a Jira dashboard, but for this you'll need a plugin. 

In case you want to try a plugin, our DevOps Gadgets app offers some useful gadgets that displays info from GitHub in Jira dashboards.

For your case, the Recent Pipeline Runs gadget could be used to display the pipelines from the dev/prod branch along with their status.

 

Hope this helps. 

Danut.
