Hi @David Freitez ,

Thanks for your suggestions. I am following these steps which are shared by you.

We are using Github Server Application. I am able to reach till the phase where it asks for connecting the Organisation in Github, but once clicking on Connect there are different errors that occurs. 

Once it had got connected as well, the backfilling was also completed, but after some time it again got disconnected. 

Sometimes even gets error post clicking on 'Connect a Github Organisation' button from JIRA configuration page.
