Pull requests and branches from GitHub

Hi all,

Is there a way to generate a report that will show a list of works (a.k.a. tickets) and the PRs and branches associated with them from github?

I have the github plugin but I couldn't find a way to generate such a report or a filter.

Thanks

Dd

There isn't really a way to do this.
You can only search for work items with PRs (merged/closed) - see jql-developer-status 

Seem there was a feature request to be able to search based on branches - JRACLOUD-30094 - but that was rejected by Atlassian....

You might be able to use the API for this - https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/software/rest/api-group-development-information/#api-rest-devinfo-0-10-repository-repositoryid-get 
(as shared originally by @Yong Yang here)

I didn't try yet, and the response structure does look complex, but it seems that this can get you the data you want.

Thanks (I was afraid of that)

@Dd If you need only the number of pull requests and branches per Jira wok item, then you can produce that output in Excel with the Better Excel Exporter app.

See column "E" in this example:

jira-excel-export-bitbucket-development-report.png

Of course, you can explode the column "E" to separate columns and parse out the numbers if you need to do further analysis.
