Does VSCode extension work with Bitbucket alone or does it need Jira?

John C_6hionx

We don't use Jira but were looking forward to better Bitbucket integration in VSCode. Do we need Jira to use this extension? It doesn't explicitly state that as a requirement for us lowly Bitbucket-only types.

 

When I set up the extension in vscode I authenticate only with Bitbucket but it says "No Bitbucket repositories found" in the Atlassian section but does show I'm connected to Bitbucket in the status bar.

I'm OK running with the generic git support in vscode but accessing issues and pipelines would be cool.

Hi @John C 

The extension figures out what repo(s) it should be dealing with by looking at the git remotes defined for the project(s) you have opened in your workspace.

If you open a project that has a bitbucket.org git remote (e.g. you cloned a bitbucket repo), you should see those trees fill up with data.

You don't need Jira to use the extension, and you can disable the Jira features from the Atlassian Settings page.

 

Hope this helps!
