Hi Akhil,

You can integrate GitHub with JIRA using the DVCS connector.

Hi Akhil,

I'd suggest to check the github plugin:

I don't follow where this plugin helps. It looks like Akhil is looking for the "JIRA Releases" which are in the "Release Hub" of JIRA to be auto-populated by git tags as seen by Bitbucket.

If you're not afraid to script this yourself, you can do this using

jira-python https://pypi.org/project/jira/ (to list jira versions)
jira API (I'm going into this with python requests) for 'version' (to create new versions, jira-python doesn't offer this)
- see https://www.opentechguides.com/how-to/article/python/185/jira-python-rest.html
- see https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/7.6.1/#api/2/version-createVersion
git tag command: git tag --list
a jira user and password (or possibly access token) with at least project admin role on the given jira project
the git repository locally

a stub to do this on python 3.7 would then be
(read the above docs before!)

# get git tags
>>> os.chdir( git_folder_local_path)
>>> git_tags = subprocess.check_output("git tag --list").decode().splitlines()

# get existing jira versions (jira_inst is a connected jira-python instance)
>>> jira_versions = [ vers.name for vers in jira_inst.project_versions( proj_name)]

# get missing jira versions
>>> missing_versions = set( git_tags) - set( jira_versions)

# create missing versions (has to be done via API)
>>> headers = {
    'Accept': 'application/json',
    'Authorization': 'Basic ' + base64_obfuscated_credentials,
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
>>> def AddProjectVersion( project, name):
    data = { "name": name, "project": project }
    req = requests.post( JIRA_BASE_URL + "rest/api/2/version", headers = headers, json = data)
    if not req:
        raise RuntimeError( "API call failed [{}]: {}".format( req.status_code, req.content.decode()))
    return req.json()
>>> for vname in missing_versions:
    AddProjectVersion( proj_name, vname)
