Connect local Git repository to JIRA project

Question

I am new to JIRA and Git.

I have a local git server installed and repository initialized,

I have JIRA project created.

How to I make a connection between the two?

Also when I commit my code through VS code, I would like to see the commits under Git commits under the JIRA project.

Thanks Daniel.

I am using raw git-core and have installed the Git Integration for JIRA plugin.

I have also added the issue key in the check-in but unable to see the commit.

Hi Rupali,

Out-of-the-box Jira supports Bitbucket Server as an on-premise git server. If that's what you're using as your git server, then you can follow our documentation to get set up. This is the easiest way to work with git repositories and integrate well with Jira.

If you're not using Bitbucket and instead doing just raw git-core on your filesystem, then you'll need to make use of a plugin like Git Integration for Jira.

In either case, make sure you just include the Jira issue key (e.g. DEV-113) in your git commit messages for Jira to pick up which commit goes to which issue.

Cheers,
Daniel
