How to Automatically Close GitHub Branches When Jira Story Moves to "Done" Status?

Lunara Inashova

Hello Atlassian Community,

I'm looking for guidance on how to automatically close GitHub branches when a Jira story transitions to the "Done" status. We're using Jira Software for project management and GitHub for version control, and we want to ensure that branches associated with completed stories are deleted to keep our repository clean. I'm wondering if this can be accomplished through Jira's automation features or if I need to integrate another tool to achieve this. If anyone has experience with this or can suggest the best approach, I would greatly appreciate your advice.

Thank you!

Hi @Lunara Inashova

I think you need to look at the API from GitHub and based on Jira automation, send a web api call to GitHub to close a branch.

Hi @Lunara Inashova

Suggest to read the API docs from GitHuB, if this is possible and what is needed to do so.

Thank you,

I was able to delete branches by hardcoding the branch name in the web request url, but I want to make this dynamic. How can I retrieve the exact branch name linked to the issue from GitHub?
